Non match word list with Regular Expressions

[Chris Chandler]

Hello

Is it possible to include a list of words NOT to match in a regular
expression?

I have used a simple expression such as:

</?(table|tbody|thead|tr|td).*?>

to match any of these html tags (or closing tags).

Is it possible to do the reverse and specify a list of terms NOT to be
matched, ie. Don't match <b> or <ul> tags but match all others?

Regards
Chris Chandler

Use an HTML parser for HTML.
