Once you had enough pain with the Regex fiddling, try DOM for an alternative.
This is pretty far outside the normal use of regexes. Although it might be possible, it's far easier, far more maintainable, and possibly computationally faster to split this problem up into subproblems.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
