How about:

"Captures, are the iterator ranges that are "captured" by marked
sub-expressions as a regular expression gets matched.  Each marked
sub-expression can result in more than one capture, if it is matched more
than once.  This document explains how captures and marked sub-expressions
in Boost.Regex are represented and accessed."
