Variable-length Negation

        Everybody known the

<div[^>]*>

construction to match a tag. But how to match inside a tag ? We want something like:

<div>[^div]*</div>

but it don't work since [^div] has not this meaning ;)

This regexp do that (but don't manage nested markups, however).

<div>
(?:
  (?!</div>) # If not followed by </div>
  . # Match any character
)* # Non-capturing grouping
</div>
