Regex Special Chars

Question

How would I go out regexing all '>' characters that are not part of html. For example;

<h1> 10 > 9 </h1>

Only the '>' and inside the h1 would be selected.

what would you do in case of ` Man!! just not gonna work bcuz I love angulars` — Amit Joki, Nov 26 '14 at 16:16
Ok well basically what I'm trying to do is escape special characters but not affect the html only the text of elements. — joshy, Nov 26 '14 at 16:18

I would just check for anything that is in between HTML tags.

"\<.*\>.*\<.*\<.*\>" That only picks out '<' characters isolated between the tags. Does that solve the whole problem or are you looking to take things from outside the tags?
