Remove Basic HTML Tags from a String

function stripHtmlTags(htmlString) {
  const htmlTagRegex = /<[^>]*>/g;
  return htmlString.replace(htmlTagRegex, '');
}

// Example
const messyHtml = "<p>This is some <b>bold</b> text.</p><script>alert('xss');</script><span>Hello</span>";
console.log(stripHtmlTags(messyHtml)); // "This is some bold text.alert('xss');Hello"

How it works: This JavaScript function `stripHtmlTags` uses a regular expression to remove all content enclosed within angle brackets (`<`, `>`), effectively stripping out most HTML tags from a string. It's a basic sanitization method for display but should not be solely relied upon for robust security against XSS.
