Thanks for this. Now, how to tell BBEdit to leave everything that is between angle brackets alone? I know how to deal with the "greedy" matching-- but the problem is, I want to change everything that does NOT match.
I can find <.*?>, but that's not what I want to change to lower case. I want to change everything else. Maybe I should look the other way around: >.*?< and just do a special case for the top of the document.
