Feature Request: Ignore/hide Lines based on Keyword Highlighting Rules

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What feature are you missing ? And describe the situation where this
feature will be helpful.

Ability to hide/ignore lines based on keyword highlighting rules.

For example, under the "Configure Keyword Highlight" dialog, an option checkbox 
(in addition to Foreground/Background color) to ignore/hide particular lines. 
It would be nice to be able to weed out some of the un-useful logging.

(In my particular case, I'm looking at HTML log files, so I'd be able to remove 
some of bloat of tablerow/tabledata tags.) (Ideally SnakeTail would include 
some type of HTML log viewer, but I realize that would be huge commitment to 
implement something like that, so instead I'd just like to request a (simpler?) 
feature that is more versatile and functional for more users.)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SnakeTail Version: 1.8.2
OS: Windows 7 64-bit

Are you suggesting some regex-matching where html-tags are stripped from a line?

Or some regex-matching where lines containing certain html-tags are made 
invisible?

I can design the regex-matching if the feature is made part of keyword 
highlighting. 

But the second option, I'd like to regex-match (user entered via keyword 
highlighting dialog) html bloat lines and make them invisible (hide/ignore 
them) but also so they do not waste line space (I could currently make them 
white text on white background, but that wastes large amounts of screen/text 
space).
