I love [the famous answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags/1732454#1732454) by bobince regarding using regular expressions for parsing of text with HTML (and other markup) tags.

It is probably one of the most-linked questions answers on Stack Overflow.

However, seeing it linked to in [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4683046/regular-expression-for-extracting-script-tags) got me thinking. Is it linked so often because people asking related questions are not finding it because the title is a little too specific? ("RegEx match open tags except XHTML self-contained tags")?

If the title were "Using RegEx to match HTML tags" or even "Using RegEx to match tags" would people be more likely to come across it? I have a suspicion that "XHTML," "Open Tags," and "Self-contained" are keywords that might cause people to think it doesn't apply to their case.

Thoughts?
