Pretty close.

The only thing I'd suggest is a different way of wording step 2:
Can contain anything but '>' until step 3.

As for the switches/modifiers (Uis), check out:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php

U = ungreedy
i = case-insensitive (|p| matches 'p' and/or 'P')
s = treat as single line
