Strip HTML

Remove HTML tags from a string by parsing the HTML. There are certainly faster ways of doing this, ie

Create val
html.replace(/<\/[^>]+(>|$)/g, "") 
// source https://stackoverflow.com/a/5002161

but this way is likely the most correct in that you're using a proper HTML parser.

import { DOMParser } from "https://deno.land/x/deno_dom/deno-dom-wasm.ts";
export function stripHTML(html: string) {
const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(html, "text/html");
return doc.body.textContent;
}
