[TriLUG] simple regular expression to strip HTML?

[Jeremy Portzer]

I would have posted this to the dev@ list, but we've discontinued it...

Does anyone know of a quick-and-dirty regular expression that will strip
simple HTML tags?  I'm not looking for something that is necessarily
100% safe/tested, but something reasonable that will work.  It needs to
use the regular C regexp set of calls, not Perl extensions.

For example:  "<em>Bold</em> type" should substitute to "Bold type"
