Skip Over Html Tags In Regular Expression Patterns

I'm trying to write a regular expression pattern (in python) for reformatting these template engine files. Basically the scheme looks like this: [$$price$$] {

Instead, use a HTML/XML-aware library (such as lxml) to build a DOM-style object tree; modify the text segments within the tree in-place, and generate your output again using said library.

Solution 2:

Try this:

\r?\n[ \t]*

EDIT: The idea is to remove all newlines (either Unix: "\n", or Windows: "\r\n") plus any horizontal whitespace (TABs or spaces) that immediately follow them.
