OK. You have my attention. Does this mean we'll be able to get the holy grail of full html balanced tag selection with just a regular expression?
Well, in principal yes, but one has to try to fine-tune the regexp. The mentioned regexp does match all tags like <a>..</a> but not <img> or <img />. If you have such a tag in the doc the regexp engine runs in a loop. I do not know if we need a tiny script around the regexp but at least it would simplify the script for matching balanced tags. This week I'll have no time.
