I am a regex retard.

I am trying to pull keywords out of this crazy bbcode-like file, but
only for bbcode-like code NOT enclosed in HTML comments. I currently
have managed to create this regex:

'/(?<!<!--)\[!(\w+)::.*!\](?!-->)/U'

Which matches

[!keyword::crazy bbcode!]

and not

<!--[!keyword::crazy bbcode!]-->

That's a step in the right direction. But it includes in the match
keywords within phrases like this:

<!-- A sentence including some [!keyword::crazy bbcode!]. -->

I want to ignore all bbcode within HTML quotes. How do I do this?


thanks
