The RE above captures and replaces all HTML tags with lowercase as desired except for any tag that has only one letter such as <P>, <B> or <I>

It will get the </B>, </P> and </I>

It properly ignores the <!DOCTYPE> tag

What is the correct way to write the above RE?

HTML tag names can't contain spaces, so you want

    s|(</?)([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)|$1\L$2|g;

Is there a difference between "\U</" and "\L</"?
