Strips all HTML tags from the html, including comments. This uses the html-scanner tokenizer and so its HTML parsing ability is limited by that of html-scanner.
Examples
strip_tags("Strip <i>these</i> tags!")
# => Strip these tags!
strip_tags("<b>Bold</b> no more! <a href='more.html'>See more here</a>...")
# => Bold no more! See more here...
strip_tags("<div id='top-bar'>Welcome to my website!</div>")
# => Welcome to my website![ show source ]
