One word of warning on using a field to strip HTML text - it's VERY slow.
When a field is on the current card, the engine makes the reasonable assumption that it may be used for editing, and does extra stuff to the object record to make sure it renders well. That extra stuff slows down access, a lot, and much more so when the screen is unlocked.
For stripping htmlText, since this operation doesn't need a visible field you can use one on any unopened card or stack, which speeds things up at least several times.
In my tests here, using the templateField measures about the same as using an off-screen field.
And depending on how you run your test, you may see an order of magnitude or more performance increase using either the templateField or an offscreen field rather than a lengthy handler to do the stripping.
