function drupal_html_to_text in Drupal 6

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 7 includes/mail.inc \drupal_html_to_text()

Transform an HTML string into plain text, preserving the structure of the markup. Useful for preparing the body of a node to be sent by e-mail.

The output will be suitable for use as 'format=flowed; delsp=yes' text (RFC 3676) and can be passed directly to drupal_mail() for sending.

We deliberately use LF rather than CRLF, see drupal_mail().

This function provides suitable alternatives for the following tags: <a> <em> <i> <strong> <b> <br> <p> <blockquote> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr>

Parameters

$string: The string to be transformed.

$allowed_tags (optional): If supplied, a list of tags that will be transformed. If omitted, all all supported tags are transformed.

Return value

The transformed string.
