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
(?<!(<\/\w+>[^\n]*)|\{|\})(?<=\n)(\||!)\s*(?!-|<\/\w+>|\{|\}) $1  Space out pipe characters and header separators in tables (one cell per line)*
(?<!(?:<\/\w+>[^\n]*(?=<\/\w+>)|\{|\}))[^\S\r\n]*(\|\|\|?|!!!?)[^\S\r\n]*(?!-|[^\n]*<\/\w+>(?=<\/\w+>)|\{|\})  $1  Space out pipe characters and header separators in tables (entire row per line)*
<math>,*\s*\\frac(\d)(\d),*\s*<\/math> {{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-length lookaheads and lookbehinds
