No, regular expressions are great for many purposes. Parsing context-free syntax isn't one of them. See: <URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chomsky_hierarchy#The_hierarchy> Most modern programming languages including HTML are context-free. Their structure is too rich for regular expressions to capture. Regular expressions can handle any regular language just fine. They are commonly used to define the lexical tokens of a language.
