+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+## File attributes
+*%\_\_*_NAME_*_path* _REGEX_++
+*%\_\_*_NAME_*_magic* _REGEX_++
+*%\_\_*_NAME_*_mime* _REGEX_++
+*%\_\_*_NAME_*_exclude_path* _REGEX_++
+*%\_\_*_NAME_*_exclude_magic* _REGEX_++
+*%\_\_*_NAME_*_exclude_mime* _REGEX_

Just realized that while these all are regexes of course, they differ a lot on what they're matched on. I think it'd make sense to differentiate path, magic and mime regexes in the placeholder name as appropriate, and then use the same names in the Matching rules section so they're easy to lookup.
