Re's can't, I repeat, can't parse text with structure, you need a full
parser (state machine) for it. They can be used however to tokenize
the text, e.g. recognize the tags

< some-text-here-excluding-<-and->->

And then feed these tokens into the parser.

D. Mertz has a book online about text processing that might suit you
just fine.

With my best regards,
