Hi and welcome.
1.)
Do “<span" and "” always be on the same line?
Or could it be that they are on different lines like
1.
CCNA Portable Command Guide
Your example doesn’t provide this detail.

2.)
Is it always the first occurrence of “” in a line that can be remove?
Then the rule would be easier:
if there is found a closing tag without an opening tag before, then it can be removed.
Proof Of Concept:
openTag = "<span";
closingTag = "</span";
yLine = document.selection.GetActivePointY( eePosLogical );
str = document.GetLine( yLine );
openTagPos = str.indexOf(openTag);
closingTagPos = str.indexOf(closingTag);
if(closingTagPos > -1){
if(openTagPos == -1 || (closingTagPos < openTagPos)){
alert("delete");
}else{
alert("all ok");
}
}else{
alert("not found " + closingTag);
}
