@ -73,6 +73,9 @@ The following logical operators are available with `where`:
`intersect`
: `true` if a given field value that is a slice/array of strings or integers contains elements in common with the matching value; it follows the same rules as the [`intersect` function][intersect].
`like`
: `true` if a given field value matches a regular expression. Use the `like` operator to compare `string` values. Returns `false` when comparing other data types to the regular expression.
## Use `where` with boolean values
When using booleans you should not put quotation marks.

```go-html-template
{{ range where site.RegularPages "Params.foo" "like" "^ab" }}
<h2><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></h2>
{{ end }}
```
When specifying the regular expression, use a raw [string literal] (backticks) instead of an interpreted string literal (double quotes) to simplify the syntax. With an interpreted string literal you must escape backslashes.

This function uses the [RE2] regular expression library. See the [RE2 syntax documentation] for details. Note that the RE2 `\C` escape sequence is not supported.

The RE2 syntax is a subset of that accepted by [PCRE], roughly speaking, and with various [caveats].
