Options: case insensitive; ^ and $ match at line breaks
Match the characters “<head” literally «<head»
Match any character that is NOT a “>” «[^>]*»
Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving
back as needed (greedy) «*»
Match the character “>” literally «>»
Match the regular expression below and capture its match into
backreference number 1 «(.*?)»
Match any single character that is not a line break character «.*?»
Between zero and unlimited times, as few times as possible,
expanding as needed (lazy) «*?»
Match the characters “</head>” literally «</head>»
