As it is, it only matches the trailing '>' of an HTML string. e.g.
Some <b>Bold</b> text
yeilds:
Some <bBold</b text
It does seem overly complex as the 'standard' way of achieving the same thing is:
(<[^>]+>)
Still, that's proof that regexes are versatile and there's always more than one way to achieve the same ends!

you can see a small example at:
http://www.jonathancrossland.com/default.aspx?archive=Sep&item=Stripping%20out%20HTML%20Tags
I use it on a small web rss reader, to strip out tags and put them back. I needed to take them out when I called BabelFish translation service.
I hope this helps.

Did you try the expression as it shows on this screen, where it is listed with ampersand gt colons, and ampersand lt colon, or, did you try the version with actual Less than and Greater than signs.
I think this was entered in in the correct format, but that this web-site is displaying it incorrectly.
