new RegExp(
      [
        '<',
        '(/?)', // 2 - is closing
        '([-:\\w]+)', // 3 - name
        '((?:\\s+[-\\w]+(?:', '=', '(?:' +
          '\\w+|' +
          '"[^"]*"|' +
          '\'[^\']*\'))?)*)', // 4 - attributes
        '(/?)', // 5 - is self-closing
        '>'
      ].join('\\s*')
    )

i want it to allow for / in the value of the attribute

• <tag foo="bar"> or <tag required foo="bar"> or </tag> or <tag src="foo"/> all match
• but <tag required foo="/bar"> does not because of the slash inside the attribute value
