You can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. Regex is not a tool that can be used to correctly parse HTML.

rokkamokka•38m ago

You can parse a subset of it though, like if you're in control of the html yourself and avoid certain structures

Parsing HTML with a regex is never a good option, but it's sometimes the only option.

In the example from the article it certainly is an option. In Python you could either use a "soup" library or you could play around with a tool like https://www.w3.org/Tools/HTML-XML-utils/man1/hxpipe.html.

The more fundamental question for me is why the author didn't decide to make make code blocks non-breaking by default, or just add the class annotations when he writes the HTML?
