Regex to detect text inside <>

Question

I am trying to match if string that can be multiple lines contains any tags surrounded with < > . My regex knowledge is quite limited, so far I got to

[\s,\S]*<\/?[A-Za-z][^>]*(?!>)[\s,\S]*

What I want it to do is detect opening < , that can be followed by 1 or more characters(letters) and this cannot be followed by closing > .

I want all the text to be evaluated as match thus [\\s,\\S] on both sides.

So basically it should match only if no tag is detected.

With above this works: hello<p> (not match) But this not: hello <pp> (will match and should not)

Anyone who can help here?

EDIT: Let's forget about html, I would like to have regex that matches on string if it does not contain any text wrapped in <>. I can't understand how answer posted in comment answers that. I do not want to parse anything..

Example string: hello there = match Another: hello <there> = NO MATCH.

Thanks

Use:

<[^>]+>

Then negate the result.
