So lucky I studied compiler theory at university and our prof showed language powers and their (sometimes incomputable) barriers.

@shafik It’s a classic. But it’s funny that this particular question about HTML and regex isn’t actually asking to parse a non-regular language! It only wants to match opening tags, which I believe should be regular. (Not necessarily a good idea, mind you.)
