If you could send a few html pages that show what you exactly need I
could try to write the ignore settings.

What is needed is a base-page and then one with changes to ignore and
one with changes that are not for ignore.

The \d+ is regular expression speak for 'at least one digit but maybe
more'. \d is short for all digits 0 to 9 and + means at least one.

\s+ would mean one or more spaces.
