I noticed that my "different take" (see the bottom
of this message) ignored the need for "spaces", as well, and
have attempted to revise my "different take", but in doing
so, I have relied on the verb "stringreplace" from the
script "strings".
t =: 'aabccdeeeeefefefaaafff'
first1 =: 2 </\0,]
mask =: 0 0,2*./\2=/\]
spanold=: (( a: ,<'</span>'){~(first1&.|.)),:(a:,<'<span>'){~first1
span =: (((<'M'),<'</span>'){~(first1&.|.)),:(a:,<'<span>'){~first1
load'strings' NB. ******next line produces the result****
('M<';'<';'M';' ')stringreplace ;|:2 0 1{(<"0,span&mask)t
