> What is the proper way to say I will accept any kind of character, letter,

Something like this would work:
<p[^>]*>([\s\S]*?)<\/p>
However, it is not going to work on nested tags, like divs:
<div[^>]*>([\s\S]*?)<\/div>
would not be accurate here:
<div>
<div>blah</div>
</div>
In this case, it is going to find the first opening div along with the inner
closing div.
