Content migration is a pain, particularly when you are charged with copying content from an old html site into a new framework. Often times, old content comes with the baggage of inline css styling, which wreaks havoc on your pretty new site design. Here's a handful of helpful regexs that I use to strip out undeed inline styling, while still preserving the html element structure.
To strip out span tags:
<span[^>]+>
Follow up to strip out the close tags:
Strip out inline styling:
style="[^"]+"
FYI:[]
defines a character class, ^
excludes characters.
I think you get the idea.
