OK, I'm stumped. I'm attempting to come up with a GREP pattern that
will find empty HTML tags. In building up to the full pattern, I've
found that this matches the start tag and the white space after it:
<([a-zA-Z]+) *.*?>\s*
The normal pattern for a closing tag seems to be:
</[a-zA-Z]+>
Given that I've captured the opening tag, it seems to me that the
pattern for the closing tag in my overall pattern should be:
<([a-zA-Z]+) ?.*?>\s*</\1>
However, while this pattern finds some empty tags, if I have nested
tags (empty or full), it finds the entire tag string, which is not
correct.
Any thoughts on what I'm missing?
I am having trouble following your terminology at the end. Would you
please post examples of text the pattern does and does not work with,
so we could try it for ourselves?
