Years ago (ie, 1999), I wrote a custom tag called CF_TAGSTRIPPER that would strip HTML tags from a source string, optionally preserving specific tags.

A few years ago, I converted it to a UDF and I've used it in a variety of my applications to strip out all but a few tags - like if I wanted to allow users to use bold and italic tags.

Recently, I've had a desire to strip out only certain tags, so I modified my tagStripper function to perform this task as well.  Here's the code.  Please let me know if you see anything wrong with it!
