  <p>I have a HTML page with</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a class="development" href="[variable content]"&gt;X&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The [variable content] is different in each place, the rest is the same.<br>
  What regexp will catch all of those links?
  (Although I am not writing it here, I did try...) </p>
