Removing HTML Tags to Extract Plain Text

Here are several methods to remove HTML tags and keep only plain text:

1. Using Regular Expressions in Python

import re
html_content = '<p>This is <b>bold</b> text.</p>'
plain_text = re.sub('<[^<]+?>', '', html_content)
print(plain_text)  # Output: This is bold text.

2. Using BeautifulSoup in Python

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html_content = '<p>This is <b>bold</b> text.</p>'
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_content, 'html.parser')
plain_text = soup.get_text()
print(plain_text)  # Output: This is bold text.

3. Using JavaScript

function stripHtml(html) {
    var tempDiv = document.createElement('div');
    tempDiv.innerHTML = html;
    return tempDiv.textContent || tempDiv.innerText || '';
}
var htmlContent = '<p>This is <b>bold</b> text.</p>';
var plainText = stripHtml(htmlContent);
console.log(plainText);  // Output: This is bold text.

4. Using PHP

$html_content = '<p>This is <b>bold</b> text.</p>';
$plain_text = strip_tags($html_content);
echo $plain_text;  // Output: This is bold text.
