I laugh at the challenge presented by this regex. It is no match for my awesome ninja skillz.
Two notes: 1) This is not tested, so may have typos or things I didn't think about, but it's pretty simple and unlikely to be broken. 2) This may need to be edited a bit based on the language they are using. Basically you want to do something along the lines of: newtext = rereplacenocase(text, '</?(p|font|textformat)[^>]*>', 'all'); The regex should work in cf5, cfmx, or anything "perlish" and (likely) most other things.
