Incorrect parsing of regex content in Reference Lists doc

Dear team,

I am reaching out in relation to the following doc:

https://cloud.google.com/chronicle/docs/reference/reference-lists

In the Regex lists section, there is an example of regex reference list content:

 

// This is a new line comment in a regex reference list.
.*chronicle.*
http:\/\/google\.com // This is an inline comment.
^[0-9].*\.gov$

// The line below is a potential problem. Everything after double forward slash is
// a comment, and is ignored.
http://website.com

The docs say that this reference list content parses into the regex content below:

 

 

.*chronicle.*
http://google\.com
^[0-9].*\.gov$
http:

However, i feel there are two errors.

1. In `http://google\.com`, why is there a `\` before the `. `
The `.` has been escaped with a backslash `\`. And therefore, the parsed content should be: `http://google.com`

2. In `^[0-9].*\.gov$`, the `.` is escaped by a `\`. And so the parsed content should be: `^[0-9].*.gov$`

Please let me know if i am thinking wrong about this.
