strip-tags(function)
This is a port of the PrototypeJS method stripTags.
It strips a string of any HTML 4.01 tags — like div, span, and abbr.
It will not, however, strip namespace-prefixed tags such as h:table or
xsl:template. Nor will it remove any content from within <script> tags.
Lastly, while stripTags is good enough for most purposes, it shouldn't be
relied upon for security purposes. If processing end-user supplied content,
stripTags is not sufficiently robust enough to ensure that the content is
completely devoid of HTML tags in the case of an end-user who's intentionally
trying to circumvent a tag restriction.
Installation
npm install @ramumb/strip-tags
Usage
var stripTags = require('strip-tags');
stripTags('a <a href="#">link</a>');
// -> 'a link'
stripTags('a <a href="#">link</a><script>alert("hello world!");</script>');
// -> 'a linkalert("hello world!");'
stripTags('<xsl:template match="/"><html><body><h2>My CD Collection</h2><xsl:apply-templates/></body></html></xsl:template>');
// -> '<xsl:template match="/">My CD Collection<xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template>'
