Postgres | Function to remove HTML tags from text

Problem : How to create a function in Postgres that will remove HTML tags from a piece of text?

Solution : Create function in postgres :

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION strip_tags(TEXT) RETURNS TEXT AS $$
    SELECT regexp_replace($1, '<[^>]*>', '', 'g')
$$ LANGUAGE SQL;

How to use :

SELECT strip_tags('<div>Kailash</div><b>Kumar</b>');

Output: KailashKumar

Note: This function will remove all the content between < and > symbol. If HTML tags are not proper then your text may also get removed so check your HTML before parsing it through this function.
