The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

You can use nltk.util.clean_html to remove all tags

import nltk.util
nltk.util.clean_html(source)

example:

nltk.util.clean_html("<html><head><title>Hello</title><script>var foo=3;</script></head><body><p>This is <u>some crazy text</u>. OK!</body></html>")

result:
'Hello This is some crazy text . OK!'
