A non-capturing group groups a subpattern, allowing you to apply a quantifier to the entire group or use disjunctions within it. It acts like the grouping operator in JavaScript expressions, and unlike capturing groups, it does not memorize the matched text, allowing for better performance and avoiding confusion when the pattern also contains useful capturing groups.

The direction attribute specifies the inline-base direction of a <text> or <tspan> element. It defines the start and end points of a line of text as used by the text-anchor and inline-size properties. It also may affect the direction in which characters are positioned if the unicode-bidi property's value is either embed or bidi-override.

Property accessors provide access to an object's properties by using the dot notation or the bracket notation.

The fx attribute defines the x-axis coordinate of the focal point for a radial gradient.

The filter attribute specifies the filter effects defined by the <filter> element that shall be applied to its element.

The unsigned right shift assignment (>>>=) operator performs unsigned right shift on the two operands and assigns the result to the left operand.

A character class escape is an escape sequence that represents a set of characters.

The fill attribute has two different meanings. For shapes and text it's a presentation attribute that defines the color (or any SVG paint servers like gradients or patterns) used to paint the element; for animation it defines the final state of the animation.
