But that's the problem. You don't know ahead of time. You don't know how many or which ones. The idea is for regex to get it right which it doesn't. This is why we need an update to regex to allow us to have more control so we can do things like this. Regex should be able to say I want the next instance of </span> after the <span>. But we cannot do it. So regex should be updated to handle such things.
