remove html tags from text

[Jim Ault]

I would add a loop to clean up the formatting of the returned text, since
html formatting is usually done for the convenience of the programmer, not
the viewer.

    repeat for each line LNN in tHtml
      put word 1 to -1 of LNN  & cr after newHtml
   end repeat
   filter newHtml without empty
-- now there are no leading/trailing spaces, no empty lines

replace cr with space in newHtml
--now there are no cr's, since you would not know where they should be if
 --the tags are simply stripped.
