hi

i am trying to make a bbcode parser and i get stuck at this :(

i want to replace all '\n' with "<br />\n" in a text unless it's in
between <pre></pre> tags. i can't figure out a way to conditionally
replace anything.

for example, this text:
---
some text here
<pre>some
more
text here !</pre>
outside
lala
---

would become, if it was working:
---
some text here<br />
<pre>some
more
text here !</pre>
outside<br />
lala<br />
---

now all i have is:
$step4 = preg_replace("#\n#is", "<br />\n", $step3);

which replaces all newlines, even inside <pre>

please help!
