<![CDATA[With the help of a Regex, how to find "code" preceded by a "<" only if "code {" is absent between "<style" and "</style>" in the css section which is below ?]]>So, the “code” in this should be found:

<code............>............</code>
<style type="text/css">
</style>

…but not in this:-

<code............>............</code>
<style type="text/css">
code {
  font-family: &quot;verdana&quot;;
  font-size: 19px;
  color: black;
  font-weight: bold !important;
  line-height: 1 !important;
  }
}
</style>
