All you really need is a carefully crafted regular expression, such as /\<[^>]*\>/g, to match and remove all HTML tags from a string. This expression matches the opening bracket of a tag, followed by any number of characters that are not the closing bracket, and finally the closing bracket. The g flag makes sure that all matches are removed, not just the first one.
You can then easily combine this regular expression with String.prototype.replace()
to remove all HTML tags from a string. As a bonus, this also works for
XML tags, which might also come in handy from time to time.
