Stripping html tags (was Re: Problem with revExecuteSQL - More)

[Andre Garzia]

Richard,

doesn't that function makes you loose markup that is not displayed by
rev implementation of htmltext. For example, if you have <DIV> tag
that is not understood by htmltext, do you still get its content when
querying the text of the field?

I don't know...
