CNC htaccess shorthand?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

In general, there are such lines (there are 10 such pieces):

RewriteRule ^news/$ news/news.php [L]
RewriteRule ^label/$ label/label.php [L]
RewriteRule ^page/$ /page/page.php [L]

Is it possible to shorten them, something like this:

RewriteRule ^(news|label|page)/$ (news|label|page)/(news|label|page).php [L]

How to do it right? And does it make sense?

Answer 1

RewriteRule ^(.*?)/$ /$1/$1.php [L]
