 Additionally, you can use a not (`!`) to negate and a regular expression in the form of `/regexp/` for specifying a constraint.
 For example,
 
-* `name=node1` will match nodes named with `node1`.
-* `name=!node1` will match all nodes, except `node1`.
-* `region=!us*` will match all nodes outside the regions prefixed with `us`.
-* `name=/node[12]/` will match nodes named `node1` and `node2`.
-* `name=/node\d/` will match all nodes named with `node` + 1 digit
-* `node=!/node-[01]-id/` will match all nodes, except those with ids `node-0-id` and `node-1-id`
+* `constraint:name=node1` will match nodes named with `node1`.
+* `constraint:name=!node1` will match all nodes, except `node1`.

+* `constraint:name=!/foo\[bar\]/` will match all nodes, except those with name `foo[bar]`. You can see the use of escape characters here.
