Using $NEST

[Quaraxkad]

I'm trying to write a filter that removes certain tables.

An example table:

Code:

<table class="maintable">
    <tr>
        <td class="acell">a string</td>
    </tr>
</table>

I can match this table with this code:

Code:

<table*class=$AV(maintable)*>*</table>

The problem with that is that it doesn't work on nested tables:

Code:

<table class="maintable">
  <tr>
    <td class="acell">a string</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td>another table</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </tr>
</table>

So I tried this:

Code:

$NEST(<table*class=$AV(maintable)*>,</table>)

This code only removes from the first opening table tag to the first closing table tag, and not the correct closing tag for the main table. Am I using $NEST incorrectly?
