So until someone can demonstrate otherwise, I'm sticking with using fields to strip tags from text.....

Though doesn't this approach fail with legitimate "<" characters in <code> (or other) tags?

Of course, that may not be important in your usage.

It's very important for most of us, since we're looking for the most robust solution.

I just tried it and found that this:

<pre>
put 2<3
</pre>

...produces an incomplete rendering like this:

  put 2

...but this:

<pre>
put 2< 3
</pre>

...is rendered as expected like this:

put 2< 3


I would imagine similar results if we special-case the regex solution to also handle non-white space after a "<".

If both methods are equally robust then the one to use would be the fastest. But if one of more fault-tolerant than the other, than if the speed of both is at least acceptable than I'd go with the more robust one.
