Search URL's in HTML - but NOT in tags

> By the way this is a better HTMLstring for testing:
> <p>This a <a href="http://www.test.com">
;test</a>:<br />This URL
> www.second.test.com may match because it has to be a
clickable link.
> This is a URL between tags
<em>www.third.test.com</em>.<br />This
regex
> also finds emailaddress.es.</p>
