By the way:

 locs=:  tags [email protected]:0 }. txt=.(' ',;tags),x,;tags

This is defining two things:
   txt
   locs

txt is the text supplied in x, but preceded and followed by an empty set of
tags, and also ensuring that the very first character is not the start of a
tag.

The space may be unnecessary -- the only reason I am adding the space on
the front is so that I know whether or not the first block of text
delimited by tags is part of a tag or not.  (But I would have to re-think
the rest of the code to see if it could work based on the idea that the
start of the text is always a tag.)

Meanwhile, I prepend and append an empty set of tags to avoid issues with
how I am identifying "sequences of tags".  One of your requirements was
that tags always appear in order, and if any are missing from that order we
get a blank result in the corresponding result position.  And I am using
J's diagonal function to find the subsequences.  And to ensure that found
subsequences are always complete, I start and end the text with complete
subsequences (otherwise, with certain data, I might
have incomplete diagonals...).

Anyways, once I have that, loc becomes the locations of the beginings of
your start tags (left column) in txt and of the beginnings of your end tags
(right column) in txt.

Except, of course, end tags are not just defined by their text, but also by
their location.  (Which makes me wonder if perhaps this code should instead
be structured to just have a single "end" delimiter instead of trying to
pretend that it's reasonable to have different ending tags for different
starting tags.)

Finally, I should have replace =: with =. in the function definition before
releasing it.  (=: makes some kinds of debugging easier but can cause
long-run problems).


getTagsContents=: 4 :0
