Strip Html
Removes any HTML or XML tags from a string. Super simple, but I didn't see anything here like it. I've created similar methods in the past to take into account things like <script> blocks, but I'm not worrying about that here.
Source
// Used when we want to completely remove HTML code and not encode it with XML entities.
public static string StripHtml(this string input)
{
// Will this simple expression replace all tags???
var tagsExpression = new Regex(@"</?.+?>");
return tagsExpression.Replace(input, " ");
}Example
var htmlText = "<p>Here is some text. <span class="bold">This is bold.</span> Talk to you later.</p>;
var cleanString = htmlText.StripHtml();
