## #2164 — Moriyoshi Koizumi — 2003-06-04T16:58:03+00:00

Hi,

I've finally made a better `strip_tags()` implementation with re2c scanner 
generator. The new implementation comes with a set of generic methods 
that covers the current functionality plus several enhancements which 
enables us to properly handle tags that span multiple lines.

The patch can be found at http://www.voltex.jp/patches/strip_tags-patch.diff.gz

Any comments are welcome.
