The modules use regexes. They just spend more time on them and make them better than you could on the fly. Plus, I don't see what's keeping you from writing a rule that matches a tag. I think it would go something like this: rule tag($name) {:w \< $name %opts:=[ (\S+)=(\S+) ]* \> } Then, you can match an img tag with: / <tag 'img'> / See, isn't that great? Luke
