Comment (by hbhalodia):

 Hi @westonruter @dmsnell, If I am collecting it correctly, we should
 remove the usage of `regex` and use something like `DOMParser` or a simple
 HTML tag via `createElement`, add it as an innerHTML and extract the
 innerText from it and return that?

 Something like below,

 {{{
 #!js
 const parser = new DOMParser();
 const doc = parser.parseFromString( text, 'text/html' );

 return doc.body.innerText || '';
 }}}

 or

 {{{
 #!js
 const element = document.createElement( 'div' );
 element.innerHTML = text;

 return element.innerText;
 }}}

 Let me know if this is something we need to update?

 Thanks,
