Best Practices

For better results:

1. Keep a copy of the original HTML if you may need the markup later.
2. Review the extracted text after removing tags.
3. Check whether important links or formatting information needs to be preserved.
4. Use the cleaned text as a starting point for further editing.

Common Mistakes

Avoid these common assumptions:

1. Removing HTML tags does not preserve the original webpage structure.
2. Links may become plain text rather than clickable links.
3. Formatting such as headings, colors, and styles may be lost.
4. HTML tags removal is different from HTML sanitization.

Important Note

The purpose of this tool is to extract or clean text by removing HTML markup. It should not be considered a complete HTML sanitizer or a security solution for processing untrusted HTML.
