ASP http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com/stips/scripttip79.html

	I'm aware of this function of course and use it routinely to prevent
	someone trying to get malicious code to execute in message boards
and
	the like.

	But this is not what I want to do.

	I want a way to take the following text:

	<i>John Doe</i>, President, said <b> blah blah blah important stuff
	</b>

	and turn it into:

	John Doe, President, said blah blah blah important stuff 

	I.e, get rid of all the HTML formatting. A possible use of something
	like this would be in getting a "printable version" of an article.
