Initial Description 
<p>If there is ever a time when you load text from an external source containing unwanted HTML markup use the following function. This uses a regular expression to strip all HTML tags from the input string. The string "&lt;strong&gt;Click &lt;a href='http://example.com'&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to find out more&lt;/strong&gt;" would simply be converted to "Click here to find out more.". This returns a new string, leaving the input string unchanged.</p>
