* as the element's closing symbol. But wait, it's in the content attribute and is not the end of the
* element. This is a limitation of using regex. It can't determine "wait a minute this is inside of quotation".
* If this happens, what gets matched is not the entire element or all of the content.
*
* Why not search for the name=description and then content="(.*)"?
* The attribute order could be opposite. Plus, additional attributes may exist including being between
