So you want to split the HTML in a way that $_ becomes one full line of text?
It really depends how the HTML is written. If it's written all on one line
(which is the case sometimes) you would probably need to go another route.
If the HTML is written on multiple lines (and it should be for readability) you
can try splitting on \n (newline). You may also try \r for carriage return.
Hope this helps.
