Oops! I mean to write yours as ("[^"]*"|'[^']*'|[^>]*)* and this (?:"[^"]*"|'[^']*'|[^>])* to replace it. Here, I've added the noncapturing grouping (?: ).

Comment:
You could remove the inner star of the two unlimited quantifiers in the subpattern ("[^"]"|'[^']'|[^>]*)* and avoid the possibility of a never-ending match, ("[^"]"|'[^']'|[^>])*. Alternatively, using "unrolling the loop" technique on this subpattern will protect against possible eternal matches and may also speed-up execution.
