I've never gotten my head around regex myself, but I'm pretty sure that in
order for people to answer your question, they'll need to know what
platform/operating system you are using, and what particular software or
language you are using to do the work... BBEdit? Perl?

However, I will wonder on the side if you might not be happier just using a
tool like Tidy:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tidy

It works pretty well for me, when I call it from within TopStyle Pro...

Some HTML editors, like HomeSite, also have tools like that built in.

Good luck, and don't give up on regular expressions; they can be very
powerful.
