Your blog converted my lt & gt into actual brackets. Comments should be converting ampersand characters into the appropriate HTML entity.

The regular expression is off.

/]+./ Will get rid of everything after an opening of an image tacg up until it hits something other than & or g or t or ;. The final dot is also useless and potentially dangerous since you can’t presume it’s a space.

The more appropriate regex would be:

/)/

You should also make it case-independent and test it with multi-line image tags.

Appreciate your efforts but you may want to pick up a book on regular expressions.
