The problem as I see it, is that while it's easy to trim some text and
then check to see if you were inside an HTML tag or not, it becomes
MUCH harder to check if you were inside nested tags (for example
<strong><em>)
If there are no nested tags then it's much easier.. just trim the
string at X characters and then search for the last occurrence of a
'>' and the last occurance of '<' - if the first is LESS than the second
value, then you're in the middle of a tag.
This of course doesn't handle nested tags.
Best regards,
Richard Davey

Yeah... that's the point :( Nested tags are very possible.
I am not sure how one would go here tho
sorry that i didnt have time to read everything word by word but did you
try to run strip_tags()?
