Strip HTML tags

Remove tags from text. This can include tags to use bold (“b”) or italic. It can also include tags such as headings or other formatting such as a bulleted list. Following are some HTML tags. Here is an example of text that is bold, italic, underlined, and with a strike out. All of these tags would go away, and plain text would remain.

<p><strong>This is bold.</strong> <em>This is italic.</em> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">This is underlined.</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">This is a strike out.</span></p> This is bold. This is italic. This is underlined. This is a strike out.
