Though you must be aware that parsing html (or any markup language) properly with regexp is just impossible in general and you can only get crude and fragile approximations. i never realized that since my needs have been pretty simple and python's re has done things nicely.
There are proper html parsing libraries on hackage if your needs become too complex for simple regexp to handle. i found tagsoup a while ago and i'm trying to learn how to use it better. it's a bit of an overkill for what i'm doing here which probably can be done even without regex - something i'm thinking about. thx.
