Why don't you just use REGEX? I don't know any possibility to easily
process contents which are not valid XML/XHTML just because there's no
library to load such stuff (but put me in right there).
I'm not an expert of REGEX, but I think the following would do it:
/\<p\s*class\=\"question\"\s*\>(.*)\<\/p\>
(my first contribute here, I beg your pardon if something went wrong)
