Convert the htmlPattern to a suitable format for HTML5 pattern. Example: /^[a-z]+$/ would be converted to [a-z]+ However, if options are specified, it cannot be converted
Pattern is also ignored if match=false since the pattern should then be reversed before application.
@todo reverse pattern in case match=false as per issue #5307
