HTML Tags Stripper is designed to strip HTML tags from the text. It will also strip embedded JavaScript code, style information (style sheets), as well as code inside php/asp tags (<?php ?> <%php ?> <% %>). It will also replace sequence of new line characters (multiple) with only one.
Allow tags feature is session sticky, i.e. it will remember allowed tags list, so you will have to type them only once.
You can either provide text in text area below, or enter URL of the web page. If URL provided then HTML Tags Stripper will visit web-page for its contents.
Known issues:
Tool is not yet working correctly with non-latin characters (cyrillic, etc.). Will be fixed soon.

online tools.

waw it's creat , how can I am download ?
Alex
January 17, 2007
Why don't you build one yourself snake. Just use PHP and use find / replace code.
Pat
January 20, 2007
no alex find replace will not work... we have to use strip_tag fucntion to remove all the html tag... the same is done in this tool... zubrag.com is doing a great work.
Alex
January 26, 2007
Of course you can do find / replace! There is no php function called strip_tag. The code probably loads the HTML formatted text and searches for <p> </p> and strips them, leaving the text between them. It would remove <img ...> tags including all the height & width which you would do with a search function: find instances of <img and remove this as far as the next instance of >.

Works even on html+javascript+php. Love it :D:D:D:D
January 29, 2008
Very nice - it beats doing a ton of regex in Dreamweaver :-)
1 feature request: Can you have a check box that removes anything inside a p or br tag but leaves the tag it's self?
For example I want this:
<p class="a" style="padding:5px;">
Changed to this:
<p>
When I have selected that I want to retain the <p> tag and also checked this box.
Possible?
Thanks!

I have an excel document with 7000 fields that need to be stripped on html tags, any suggestions on how I can do this (find/replace is not an option-formulas to long) I can go field by field with this editor, but was hoping for something to knock it all out in one shot?

How can you get it to keep script tags?
Here is what I tried:
In the Allow Tags field, I typed the following:
<script><p><br><table><head><body><html>
<title><meta><br><link><tr><td><div>
<form><img><!DOCTYPE>
It removed the word !DOCTYPE and it removed all php and javascript code. Am I doing something wrong?
Paul
April 27, 2008
I want to remove all font tags. Unfortunately, this tool deletes script and comment tags. So first convert the script tags to an unusual string like <SSSS or SSSS>, and convert the comment tags to <HHHH and HHHH>. Then paste the text into the tool, and strip the unwanted (font) tags. Use the following keep tags string:
<SSSS><HHHH><a><input><p><br><table><head><body><html><title><meta><br><link><tr><td><div><form><img><!DOCTYPE>
After the font tags are stripped, re-convert the substituted strings back to their original state. The word !DOCTYPE will need to be re-typed.
Paul
April 27, 2008
The above post is what I came up with to answer my own question. Does anyone know a better way?
I want to remove only the font tags. Unfortunately, the tool removes script tags too - even if <script> is typed into the Allow Tags field.
April 30, 2008
It also removes carriage returns, making it not so useful for cleaning HTML tags from emails.

<1>Point no. 1
<2>Point no. 2
..

From the above text <1> and <2> should not have been removed, or should it. At least, I didn't want it. Those are only some points mentioned in the text.

protestant programmer:
the way it works is by removing html style tags I assume. So html is anything inside <> and the <> even if it's not valid html if it's entered here inside <> it will be removed.

Try adding a check so that content is only deleted between or after tags if the first letter(s) matches that of a valid HTML tag.
This will prevent accidental removal of non-HTML elements.

A good addition to this tool section you have would a script that would add or strip slashes automatically from php.
June 7, 2010
this should be the code:
echo strip_tags($your_html_text);
simply add a form and a $_POST condition to show
June 7, 2010
strip_tags will only strip html tags and will do nothing with css and javascript code, so strip_tags only solution will not work. Current tags stripper obviously does something more than just applying strip_tags function

Thanks a ton this has made my job as a summer student tons easier! Exactly what I needed.

Here is your solution ,

This is a fantastic tool, but because I need some kind of automation I re-built it for own use. One question though. After stripping tags, all content is nicely separated per line, how did you accomplish that. Standard the strip_tags function doesn't do that..
tomhermans [anti-spam] gmail.com
September 27, 2011
Found a solution:
$orig_content = strip_tags(html_entity_decode($orig_content)); // strip tags
$orig_content = preg_replace("/(^[\r\n]*|[\r\n]+)[\s\t]*[\r\n]+/", "\n", $orig_content); // remove empty lines
$orig_content = str_replace("\n", "<br />", $orig_content); // replace line ends by br tags
