Oh Yes You Can Use Regexes to Parse HTML
One of the best and academically proficient answers I've seen on SO. And if I understand correctly turns on its head the old refrain "You can't use regexes to parse HTML", of which I've always been a staunch proponent.<p>Now I understood the reason _why_ you can't use regular expressions to parse HTML is that HTML is usually not regular. Is this true? Does this solution in perl work because of the extended capabilities of perl regexes?
