The issue (and the focus of the post) is how to limit the changes of the
<BR> between the "<pre></pre>" tags as the subject line says ;)
I need to change all the linefeeds to <BR>'s unless it is between my special
tag (which is replaced with a <pre> tags) Simple replaces will replace all
of them. If a tip has one or more of the special sections, those sections
have to be excluded in the replacing of the linefeeds.
