Hello, i need a HTML to parse: <span>some text<span><span><span>text</span></span></span></span> I need to remove unnecessary <span> occurrences, so that output is: <span>some text<span>text</span></span> I wrote a regex, which does this once: /<SPAN>[^<]*<\/SPAN>/i How to make this work same number of times on both <span> and </span>?
