Frequently Asked Questions

How does the HTML tag remover handle complex nested HTML structures?

Our tool uses advanced DOM parsing to safely process complex nested HTML structures. It walks through the entire document tree, extracting text from deeply nested elements while preserving the logical content hierarchy. The parser handles malformed HTML gracefully and maintains text order even with complex nesting like tables, lists, and divs.

Will the tool preserve paragraph breaks and formatting when removing HTML tags?

Yes! The tool offers multiple output modes including 'Formatted Text' which preserves paragraph breaks, line spacing, and document structure. Block elements like

-

are converted to appropriate line breaks, maintaining the readable structure of your content while removing the actual HTML markup.

Can the HTML tag remover extract and display URLs from links?

Absolutely! When you enable 'Include link URLs in output', the tool extracts URLs from anchor tags and appends them after the link text. For example, 'Visit Example' becomes 'Visit Example (https://example.com)' in the output, ensuring you don't lose important link information.

Is it safe to process HTML content with scripts or potentially malicious code?

Yes, our HTML tag remover is completely safe for processing any HTML content. It uses client-side DOM parsing methods that don't execute JavaScript or any embedded scripts. The tool only extracts text content without running any code, making it safe for processing HTML from unknown sources or potentially malicious content.

What HTML entities does the tool decode, and can I control this feature?

The tool decodes all standard HTML entities including & (→&), < (→<), > (→>), " (→"), ' (→'), (→space), and numeric entities like © (→©). You can enable or disable entity decoding using the checkbox option, giving you control over whether entities are converted to readable characters or left as-is.
