Strips all HTML tags from the html, including comments. This uses the html-scanner tokenizer and so its HTML parsing ability is limited by that of html-scanner.

Examples

strip_tags("Strip <i>these</i> tags!")
# => Strip these tags!

strip_tags("<b>Bold</b> no more!  <a href="more.html">See more here</a>...")
# => Bold no more!  See more here...

strip_tags("<div>Welcome to my website!</div>")
# => Welcome to my website!
