  A REGEXP like  "<[^>]+>" should match all contents between a consecutive
pair of angle brackets.   It may be necessary to escape some of the
symbols in REGEXP to avoid misinterpretation.

  It is necessary to avoid REGEXP like "<.*>" because it will match
everything from the first "<" to the last ">", that may include other
characters "<" and ">".
