I used to have a Perl guru in the office who would fix all my regex probs,
but alas no more.

Given a string with some html text in it, I need to remove both the tags
and the text within them. Eg, given "ColdFusion Rules!<small>(ahem)</small>" I want to
return "ColdFusion Rules!". I can remove the tags easily:

<cfset newString = rereplace(oldString,"<[^>]*(>|$)","")>
<cfset newString = rereplace(oldString,"</?[^>]*(>|$)","")>

but I don't know how to also remove anything found between two sets of
tags. I've been messing around with list functions, trying to use
ListContains where '<small>' and '</small>' are the delimiters, but I figure there must
be an easier way that handles *any* tag using regex.

Any help greatly appreciated!
K.
