[crutledge]

I'm at the verge of gibbering. Since all of the really smart folks hang out here, I know someone has the answer. The book I'm working on has 72 blocks similar the the following:

<div class="stanza">
  <p>“‘Tell me, my old friend, tell me why</p>
  <p>You sit and softly laugh by yourself.’</p>
  <p>‘It is because I am repeating to myself,</p>
  <p>Write! write</p>
  <p>Of the valiant strength,</p>
  <p>The calm, brave bearing</p>
  <p>Of the sons of the sea.’”</p>
</div>

I need to get rid of the <p>...</p> tags and replace with the following:

<div class="stanza">
  “‘Tell me, my old friend, tell me why<br />
  You sit and softly laugh by yourself.’<br />
  ‘It is because I am repeating to myself,<br />
  Write! write<br />
  Of the valiant strength,<br />
  The calm, brave bearing<br />
  Of the sons of the sea.’”<br />
</div>

I've been through every manual and web reference I can find and nothing I've tried has worked. Nothing comes close to finding a series of items between two markers. I know that anything can be done with regex's if you are only smart enough or can frame the right question to google.
