Aha, ita, you rock.
Do the dance of break.
Or not, because ... breakdancing.
[Edit: not only may I do a break, break in PHP has an optional number, so I can break out of the loop I'm in or any number of enclosing loops.]
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

I had imagined searching and removing the tags from the open list immediately after finding a close tag, as opposed to collecting all the opens and closes and doing it after. I don't think it makes a difference, except it might be slightly more efficient doing it immediately, since in most cases the list of open tags will never get very long.
Break with a number scares the hell out of me.

That's in the list of "Things I Know How To Do In Perl, But Not In PHP" I'm afraid.
I'm using a regex function to grab all the openers and put them in an array, and the same function to grab all the closers, but I don't see a way to do "while(still finding tags){code}" in PHP.

OK have a look at [link] and see what you think.

Looks great. Only thing I see is the tag comparison needs to be case-insensitive.

Ahem. Adding a couple of lowercasing functions...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hokay.
Know what we need, as more people dive into the coding pool? CVS¹ or something like. It was bad enough managing versions when it was just me, but as the holdup with me rolling out Jon's changes attests, n is larger than one, and it's going to get messy.
Can anyone run a CVS server?
¹ No, not the pharmacy chain.

Can anyone run a CVS server?
I know how. I don't have a server that can host it.

Does the host of buffistas.org allow ssh or telnet access? If so, you might be able to host CVS here.
