 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.
 All of a sudden I think this is solving itself.

Christian, I no longer have the previous messages from this
thread in my email client; so can you please provide me with
a clear example -- angle brackets included -- so that I can
see exactly what it is that you are trying to accomplish.

Show me what it should look like before applying grep, and
what it should look like after applying grep.

I am still quite new at using grep patterns myself, but I
will try to help. There are a number of grep gurus here who
are much more experienced with this kind of stuff than I am.
In fact, even the little I understand now was learned from
Patrick W. and others here, so I take no credit for it.  :)
