i'm trying to get titles of text that looks something like this:


<title id="v9290060">My title here</title>

the following search works beautifully and leaves dot immediately
after ">":

(re-search-forward "<title[^>]*")


however, suppose i try to drag out the title like this:

(re-search-forward "<title[^>]*\\([^<]*\\)")
(region-around-match 1)


i think that my region should contain "My title here" but it actually
contains ">My title here"




why? am i doing something wrong here?
