Pro

1st Alternative<[^<]*(?<!\/)>(*SKIP)(*F)

<the literal < (60₁₀ / 74₈ / 3C₁₆)

Negated Character Class[^<]*

*matches any number of characters outside the set below:

<the literal < (60₁₀ / 74₈ / 3C₁₆)

Negative Lookbehind(?<!\/)

\/the literal / (47₁₀ / 57₈ / 2F₁₆)

>the literal > (62₁₀ / 76₈ / 3E₁₆)

(*SKIP)acts like (*PRUNE), but the next unanchored match attempt starts where (*SKIP) was reached instead of at the next subject character

(*F)forces the current match attempt to fail at this position
