Ok.  Here's the deal.  When asking these types of question, you need to 
post two things:

1) The starting string.
2) The result string.


Apparently, you want to know what regex will transform this string:

"<pre><a href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F36';
document.f6.submit();\" onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\"
title=\"Select\" onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return
true;\">HEAD</a>&nbsp;\n  <a
href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F37'; document.f6.submit();\"
onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\" title=\"Select\"
onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return true;\">TITLE</a>&nbsp;<a
href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F38'; document.f6.submit();\"
onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\" title=\"Select\"
onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return true;\">\"test\"</a>\n<a
href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F39'; document.f6.submit();\"
onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\" title=\"Select\"
onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return true;\">BODY</a>&nbsp;\n
<a href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F40';
document.f6.submit();\" onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\"
title=\"Select\" onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return
true;\">DIV</a>&nbsp;id&nbsp;<a
href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F41'; document.f6.submit();\"
onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\" title=\"Select\"
onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return true;\">\"main-div\"</a>\n
<a href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F42';
document.f6.submit();\" onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\"
title=\"Select\" onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return
true;\">CSS-WITH-LINK</a>&nbsp;destination&nbsp;<a
href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F43'; document.f6.submit();\"
onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\" title=\"Select\"
onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return true;\">TO</a>&nbsp;<a
href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F44'; document.f6.submit();\"
onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\" title=\"Select\"
onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return true;\">:index</a>\n
<a href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F45';
document.f6.submit();\" onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\"
title=\"Select\" onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return
true;\">IMAGE</a>&nbsp;source&nbsp;<a
href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F46'; document.f6.submit();\"
onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\" title=\"Select\"
onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return
true;\">RENDER</a>&nbsp;image&nbsp;<a
href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F47'; document.f6.submit();\"
onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\" title=\"Select\"
onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return true;\">@image</a>\n
max-height&nbsp;<a href=\"javascript:document.f6.SLID.value='F48';
document.f6.submit();\" onMouseOut=\"window.status='';\"
title=\"Select\" onMouseOver=\"window.status='Select'; return
true;\">m-h</a>\n</pre>"

into this string:

"HEAD
  TITLE "test"
BODY
  DIV |id "main-div"
    CSS-WITH-LINK |destination TO :index
      IMAGE |source RENDER |image @image"

Good luck with that.
