How this HTML Stripper works

This utility extracts plain text from HTML by removing all markup tags while preserving readable content. The algorithm converts block elements (p, div, br) to line breaks and strips inline tags while keeping their text content intact.

HTML entities are decoded to their character equivalents (&amp; becomes &, &lt; becomes <, etc.), ensuring the output is pure readable text. Users can optionally preserve line breaks from block elements or collapse everything to continuous text.

All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript regex operations. This tool is ideal for extracting content for emails, plain text exports, or analyzing text length without markup overhead.
