Problem with <?php Tags

[paladisco]

While your awesome script works perfectly in pure HTML files, when i try to run it on files containing PHP Code, all the <?php tags somehow get eliminated. I take it that the ? somehow interferes with regex syntax but that's just a guess.

Hi, the script uses python's built in HTML parser instead of regexes. This means it can work with lightweight templating languages that can be parsed as HTML, for instance jinja or mustache. I suspect the HTML parser is throwing away the <?php tags, and potentially tripping over whatever is inside them, but I need to take a closer look. It might not be easily fixable, unfortunately.

I see! Thanks for taking a closer look at the issue. Unfortunately, i'm not that experienced in Python, otherwise i'd look into it myself.

Heck, maybe that would be a good opportunity to finally learn the language. ;)

Broke all my php template tags, thanks to git. :-)
