Hmm, actually, if we can change the regex to collect both open and close tags, and if they are returned in the order they appear in the text, ita's suggestion is right on the nose.

You mean that wasn't implicit in my post above, which doesn't mention the idea at all?
I certainly thought it...

I must have missed it. I think I've got an excess of blood in my caffeine system. I'll go fix that now.

Speaking of open tags....
Rebecca Lizard had a tagline that was too long and got automatically cropped. Unfortunately, the crop occurred after an t i but before the t /i
This meant that everything underneath her tag --- i.e. her post and all the posts beneath it, were in italics.
I edited her tag and got rid of the t i

Oh. Stupid me. I didn't even check to see if the tag had been cropped, after I changed it.
I need to go to bed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whatever happened to character counting in Word?

I didn't even think it was that long!
I was really tired.

Word is now no longer quite so picky about the character of the people who use it, so, no, character doesn't count any more.
