Try this:
```
strip(html: string) {
return html.replace(/<(?:.|\n)*?>/gm, '');
}
br2nl(html: string) {
return html.replace(//gm, '\r\n');
}
```
Use it like so
```
strip(br2nl("Night is a Theater,
Dream is a Movie,
God is the Director,
Nature is the Producer,
Your the Hero Enjoy the night with Sweet Dreams…
"));
```
`br2nl` would match the following
```
```
Bear in mind that `strip` might also replace what looks like tags that the user has written, if not encoded. E.g. say I’m writing a post with the following text:
```
Here's a test text, if I did then the outcome would be wrong
```
And the HTML equivalent would be
```
Here's a test text, if I did then the outcome would be wrong
```
Then the strip would do this
```
Here's a test text, if I did then the outcome would be wrong
```
**Quick update:** Basically all you’d _need_ to encode would be `<` and `>`, so replace them with `<` and `>` respectively. So the HTML would like like this
```
Here's a test text, if I did <this> then the outcome would be right*
```
\* Right as in you _might_ need to decode them again before displaying them to the user
