What mode are you using to edit html? What version of Emacs? It's likely
your major-mode supports balanced tag movements, so this hacky regexp
searching isn't necessary.
What do you want o do with the saved text? Why don't you try to compose the
function to the best of your ability, and I'm sure someone will give you
hints for what you can't get working.
