About Strip HTML
Strip HTML removes the tags from a chunk of markup and gives you the plain text inside.
Script and style blocks are removed completely, including their contents, so you are left with readable copy rather than CSS rules or JavaScript.
Common HTML entities such as &, <, >, ", ' and can be decoded back into the characters they represent, and the leftover whitespace is collapsed sensibly, with block elements like paragraphs and list items turned into line breaks so the structure survives.
It is the quickest way to pull clean text out of an email, a web page, a CMS export or a snippet of rich content before pasting it somewhere that expects plain text.
Doing this manually is painful and regex-by-hand misses edge cases.
Strip HTML handles the common ones for you, and because it runs in your browser, the content you paste never gets uploaded.
The plain-text result updates as you type, so you can drop in a whole article and immediately copy out clean prose, free of the markup, styling and inline scripts that would otherwise come along for the ride.
