Using SED to substitute between two patterns.
Hi All,
I'm currently using SED to make various changes to some .xml files I'm working on, but I'm stuck on this particular problem.
I want to remove '<placeholder>element-name</placeholder>' from the following:
<heading>Element <placeholder>element-name</placeholder> not recognized</heading>
This type of pattern is repeated in several of my files so essentially I'm looking to remove the placeholder tags and whatever is enclosed.
Any help greatly appreciated.

html::widget::element::button
HTML::Widget::Element::Button(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTML::Widget::Element::Button(3pm)
NAME
HTML::Widget::Element::Button - Button Element
SYNOPSIS
$e = $widget->element( 'Button', 'foo' );
$e->value('bar');
DESCRIPTION
Button Element.
METHODS
new
value
label
The value of this Button element. Is also used by the browser as the button label.
"label" is an alias for "value".
content
If set, the element will use a "button" tag rather than an "input" tag.
The value of "content" will be used between the "button" tags, unescaped. This means that any html markup may be used to display the
button.
type
Valid values are "button", "submit", "reset" and "image".
src
If set, the element will be rendered as an image button, using this url as the image.
Automatically sets "type" to "image".
retain_default
If true, overrides the default behaviour, so that after a field is missing from the form submission, the xml output will contain the
default value, rather than be empty.
render
containerize
