HTML tags remover
An HTML tags remover is a tool that removes HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) tags from a given text or document, leaving only the plain text content. HTML tags are used to structure and format content on web pages, but sometimes you might need to extract or process the textual content without the formatting and structure that HTML tags provide.
HTML tags are enclosed in angle brackets (< and >) and consist of various elements like headings (<h1>, <h2>, etc.), paragraphs (<p>), lists (<ul>, <ol>, <li>), links (<a>), and more. When you want to remove HTML tags, you essentially strip away these angle-bracketed elements and their attributes.

- Content sanitization: To clean up user-generated content from potential security risks (cross-site scripting) by removing or escaping HTML tags.
- Generating plain text versions: To create plain text versions of web content for accessibility or compatibility purposes.
