Fixed another small issue with regex not working on elements with a space before the element type, E.G `< b>`

@ConorMancone Actually I fixed that 2nd case with the class with my updated code, and the <span> would also be removed properly. The use-case is meant to be a string that you want to remove elements from before they ever see the page

Ouch! Modifying HTML is not anywhere near as simple as it seems. Before I would attempt an answer to this, it is important to understand what your intended use case is. Because if you are intending to set this loose on arbitrary HTML from the internet, your particular implementation won't work, and a working implementation will require a completely different solution. Here are some snippets that your code will not work for: < b>Name</b>, <div class="myclass"></div>, <span> (broken HTML, which browsers still parse), etc... You need an actual parser to mess with HTML: regexps won't do.

Small update to the regex to allow matches for tags with other data in-line
