HTML Editing

@gjacobse you could use Notepad++ with the search and replace function. You might have to do a couple of passes but that is how I've stripped things off of multiple lines of text in the past. You'd just replace whatever text you want to remove with whitespace.
Yea - I started going in that direction - but was hoping for something a little more 'smart' to make it quicker. Still getting hit with a higher number of support tasks then the others - so my time gets very limited and excessively broken.

As I search threads on HTML and specifically HTML editing, why not add one to the mix.
It's been a good while since I've done much HTML editing - most of the time when I was doing HTML editing I at least was editing existing code, or searching code to change one or two things.
I'm trying to clean up some SharePoint HTML that has gotten a bit messing with change of font and formatting. What I would like to be able to do - is strip all of the HTML code, leaving the text and URL for the text (clickable link).
Is there any suggested applications that would do such a thing, or is it likely that I'll need to go link by link?
I've not found any better way than using the search and replace with whitespace like @dave247 already mentioned. Also, the last time I did any actual coding instead of scripting was ~8 years ago now, and I used Dreamweaver to do it shudders

Dreamweaver was better than FrontPage....

Oh, this gets even better. The project I came in and completed was doing a lot of work with media, so they chose Flash for the programming language to use, which made sense at the time. However, this was for a program that would be locally installed on a computer, so we also had another proprietary application that would compile flash into an .exe.

I use VSCode it works well too. It has that function as well.

But none as good as Notepad.

For me using a good IDE can be much more efficient for most languages over Notepad. Some big examples that stick out is having IntelliSense, Linting, etc. At absolute worst, it speeds up your "coding".
That's not to say outliers don't exist. Opening a file in notepad really quick to make a basic/quick edit can be faster, but that's not the case I'm referring to.

I like UltraEdit.
There are macros written by the user group to remove all HTML code. -

No disagreement there. Just saying that a bad IDE isn't as good as Notepad
I actually never use Notepad, but I do use vi for coding about half the time (quick and dirty). I had to use vi as my dev environment as a requirement during the 1990s because that's what we taught on. I had hundreds of engineering students all doing Fortran and C via vi 100%. So I had to use that for everything. And, it works.
But when doing anything of any length or complexity, I think MS Code is hard to beat. I love it and it runs everywhere. Very fast. Atom is okay. Notepad++ isn't bad. But Code is so good, universally available, and free that I really just always use it.
Or, now GitLab has its own built in IDE and I am starting to use that sometimes.

I only use VS Code today.
Even if I was only Windows, I would use VS Code over Notepad++ now.
There is nothing better available since it can be universally installed on Linux, Windows, or macOS.

I've been using a Mix. I use VSCode some days and I use Pycharm/GoLand other days. I like different things about both.

I like PyCharm and its related tools a lot. I just don't use them enough (or like them enough) to justify the extra price.

But my full time dev team uses JetBrains tools. Just not me personally.

Pycharm is free. I did pay for Goland because the debugging and some extra features are worth it. I don't need to use pycharm because you can use the Python plugin in Goland but I had a couple issues one time and just decided to use pycharm separately.
