Remove HTML formatting

Question

User-1786262203 posted

Anyone know how to remove html-formatted-string to plain text programatically?

I want to get the same result as if i ctrl+a in a browser's page and then ctrl+v in a notepad.

I was googled how to strip html string, but didn't find the good result.

Removing tag using regex: "<(.|\n)*?>" causes some problems:

* The html-table is not nicely converted to tabbed plain text. It produces *crazy* table in plain text.

* the html-alternate-image lost

* the list ( <ul> & <ol> ) is not conveted well. No numbering or bullets in plain text

var str= "<strong>rizwan</strong>asasasd asd dasd <b>123</b>"
    var strsplit = str.split("<")
    var result = "";
    for(i=0;i<strsplit.length;i++)
    {
        if(strsplit[i].match(">"))
        {
           strsplit[i]= strsplit[i].substring(strsplit[i].indexOf(">") + 1,strsplit[i].length)
