While you can include "\n" in your search pattern for the newline,

/<p>Mike\nGilbert\nSenior<\/p>

you don't specify *what* you want to do with it once you've
selected it. Do you want to replace all or a portion with
something? Do you want to indent it? Capitalize it?

With more information, it may be possible to get a solution to
modify all your files in one pass. You may also read up in the
help regarding windo/argdo/bufdo/tabdo for performing an action
on a collection of files (since you mention multiple pages).
