    <p>I have a regular expression task at hand and can really use some help. </p> <p>Say I have a text like below: </p> <pre><code>To Sherlock Holmes she is always &lt;i&gt;THE&lt;/i&gt; woman. </code></pre> <p>I need to enclose each character in a span tag, with exception of HTML tags. For example, the text above would be: </p> <pre><code>&lt;span&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;o&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;h&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;r&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;o&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;c&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;k&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;o&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;l&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;s&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;i&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;s&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;w&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;a&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;H&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;E&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;w&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;o&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;m&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; </code></pre> <p>Note that: </p> <ul> <li>each character is enclosed in a span tag, even a space</li> <li>HTML tag, <code>&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;</code> is not</li> </ul> <p>Any suggestion is welcome. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>

    1. CODo you know how much markup will be present? Specifically, do you know if you'll be dealing with nested html tags, like <b><i>awesomesauce</i></b>? The presence of nested tags makes it a considerably harder problem.

    3. CONested tags is quite possible, but initially we can assume no if it makes it easier.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
