preg_match_all for dummies

["Kristen G. Thorson" <kthorson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am a regex retard.

I am trying to pull keywords out of this crazy bbcode-like file, but 
only for bbcode-like code NOT enclosed in HTML comments.  I currently 
have managed to create this regex:

'/(?<!<!--)\[!(\w+)::.*!\](?!-->)/U'

Which matches

[!keyword::crazy bbcode!]

and not

<!--[!keyword::crazy bbcode!]-->

That's a step in the right direction.  But it includes in the match 
keywords within phrases like this:

<!-- A sentence including some [!keyword::crazy bbcode!]. -->

I want to ignore all bbcode within HTML quotes.  How do I do this?


thanks

kgt
