"/(.*?at)/" => <a href="#learn-regex"><strong>The fat</strong></a> cat sat on the mat. </pre>

This becomes even more useful when using the global flag.

<pre>
"/(.*at)/" => <a href="#learn-regex">The <strong>fat cat</strong> sat on the mat and another fat cat<strong> got jealous.</strong></a>. </pre>

Without using this the <pre>?</pre> to match in a lazy way it would look like this.

<pre>
"/(.*at)/" => <a href="#learn-regex">The <strong>fat cat sat on the mat and another fat cat got jealous.</strong></a>. </pre>
