Interesting question from another forum.

Is there a Python regex to match multiple spaces between the opening and closing HTML tags,
disregarding the leading and trailing whitespaces and the fact that browsers collapse whitespace on render?

For instance, in:

Code:

<p><i>blah</i> §111   </p>

how does one capture the three spaces after 111?
