hmm, if you want to use .. "<" [to "href" .. | to "font" ..] to ">" .. you get a problem: parse would look for a href before it looks for font. so with "<font> <href>" it would find the href and return it, with all the font-tag-stuff before. font would olny be searched if there is no "href" anywhere in the text. so it can make sense to pre-parse all tags and analyse them in a seperate parse-call. .. copy tag "<" thru ">" (parse tag [to "href" .. | to "font" ..]) .. in that case load/markup would do the same.

Yes, its just another way to say it. well, i was fighting a while until i solved this, so i was eager to reply too ;-) oh, and it has [to end] in it!!

i think having [thru end] to say "i got all, stop!" would be a feature. our solutions work pretty, but not that obvious.
