[PHP] HTML text extraction

Usually, a website gives preview of its articles by extracting some of the first characters. This is easy if the article is a pure text, but what if it's a HTML text? For instance, if I have the full text: bla bla bla item 1 item 2 item 3 and I take the first 40 characters,
