Nested tags

[Björnke von Gierke]

you need to do something like this:

on mouseUp
repeat for each word theWord in theText
   if theWord = "<SPAN" then
     add one to x
   else if theWord = "</SPAN>" then
     if x = 1 then
        --you found the right  /span here
     end if
     subtract one from x
   end if
end repeat
