Try this:
(defun upcase-html-tags (buf)
(interactive "*bUpcase html tags in buffer: ")
(save-excursion
(set-buffer buf)
(goto-char (point-min))
(let ((counter 0))
(while (re-search-forward "<\\(\\w+\\)>" nil t)
(upcase-region (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1))
(setq counter (1+ counter)))
(message "upcased %d html tags" counter))))
