OK, a regular expressions is doing my head in again, can anyone help?
What I'm trying to do is, match and replace all new line characters with
br that are not inside html such as tables or lists, e.g. in the
following string I would not want to add a br while I'm inside the
ordered list.

Actually, this isn't simple. Offhand, I don't see a way to do this with
regex that isn't more complicated than other methods. What you are
really asking to do is parse an HTML page and selectivly replace tokens.
The easiest way I see to do it -- and this isn't particularly robust --
is to
