What is Remove HTML Tags?

FAQ

Can I keep certain HTML tags?

Yes — enter a comma-separated list of tag names (e.g. b,i,a,p,br) in the 'Keep specific tags' field. Only those tags will survive; all others are removed.

What does 'Strip attributes' do?

It removes all attributes from the tags you keep. For example, <a href="..." class="..."> becomes just <a>. This has no effect if you are not keeping any tags.

Are script and style tags handled?

Yes. <script> and <style> blocks are always removed completely — including their content — regardless of your keep-tag settings.

What entities are decoded?

Common HTML entities like & (&), < (<), > (>), " ("),   (space), and numeric entities (decimal and hex) are all decoded back to their plain-text characters.
