 * Hi,
    I have a personalized theme and use HTML5. In validator, the div tag isn’t
   allowed with as a child of element ul and I try to remove this with the options
   and the PHP function and isn’t worked. I used regex to try this, but can’t work.
   The div appears on HTML, with the class option in blank. Can someone help me?
 *     ```
       <?php
       $menu = wp_page_menu(array(
       	'container' => '',
       	'container_class' => false,
       	'menu_class' => '',
       	'sort_column' => 'menu_order',
       	'exclude' => '5,9,23',
       	'show_home' => 1
       ));
       echo preg_replace( array( '#^<div[^>]*>#', '#</div>$#' ), '', $menu );
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Thanks,
