These are some regular expressions I use for formatting purposes:

Pattern	Replace by	Purpose
^(?:\+|-|\x{2212})?(?:(?:\d{1,3}?(?:\,\d{3})*|\d+)\.?\d*|\d*\.?\d+)(?:[Ee][+-]?\d+)?$	N/A	Match a number
(?<=\n)(=+)\s*((?:[^\s=]+\s*)+[^\s=])\s*(=+) or (?<=\n)(\=+)\s*((?:[^\s\=]+\s*)+[^\s\=])\s*(\=+)	$1 $2 $3	Space out equals signs for section headers*
(?<=\n)(\||!)[^\S\r\n]*(?!-|\})	$1	Space out pipe characters and header separators in tables (one cell per line)*
(?<=\n)(\||!)[^\S\r\n]*\|?[^\S\r\n]*(?!-|\})		Replace ! |  and | |  with !  and | , respectively
(\d+[Ll])\s*(\d+[Ss])	$1&nbsp;$2	Make sure xL ys notation for MOS scales are non-wrapped
(?<!(?:<(\w+-)*\w+>[^\n]*(?=<\/(\w+-)*\w+>)|\{|\}))[^\S\r\n]*(\|\|\|?|!!!?)[^\S\r\n]*(?!-|[^\n]*<\/(\w+-)*\w+>(?=<(\w+-)*\w+>)|\{|\})	$1	Space out pipe characters and header separators in tables (entire row per line)*
<math>,*\s*\\frac(\d)(\d),*\s*<\/math>	{{frac|$1|$2}} or {{sfrac|$1|$2}}	Standalone fractions with single-digit numerators and denominators can be done using {{frac}} or {{sfrac}} and don't need to be TeXified

* Requires support for variable-width lookaheads and lookbehinds
