Idea - Patterns for replacement

[SphinxKnight]

Hi there :)

I'm no Sublime Text user but one thing that I often use while working on updates/new translations is https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bhughes339.replacerules to replace patterns.
This helps consistently and effortlessly translating "standard" headers (like "See also", "Browser compatibility" etc.

I also use this one to replace "xref"-macros (though I don't properly deal with some edge cases at the moment).

Here is the current list of regexp/patterns (in French of course ^^):

"replacerules.rules": {
    "domxref-1-simple":{
        "find": "\\{\\{domxref\\(['\"]([^,.'\"]*?)['\"]\\)\\}\\}",
        "replace": "<a href=\"/fr/docs/Web/API/$1\"><code>$1</code></a>",
        "flags": "gmi"
    },
    "domxref-1-prop":{
        "find": "\\{\\{domxref\\(['\"]([^,.'\"]*?)\\.([^,.'\"]*?)['\"]\\)\\}\\}",
        "replace": "<a href=\"/fr/docs/Web/API/$1/$2\"><code>$1.$2</code></a>",
        "flags": "gmi"
    },
    "domxref-2-prop":{
        "find": "\\{\\{domxref\\(['\"]([^,.'\"]*?)\\.([^,.'\"]*?)['\"],[ ]?['\"]([^\"]*?)['\"]\\)\\}\\}",
        "replace": "<a href=\"/fr/docs/Web/API/$1/$2\"><code>$3</code></a>",
        "flags": "gmi"
    },
    "domxref-4-no-prop":{
        "find": "\\{\\{domxref\\(['\"]([^,.'\"]*?)['\"],[ ]?['\"]([^\"]*?)['\"],[ ]?['\"]['\"],[ ]?1\\)\\}\\}",
