I have s string containg a html text. I want to remove the strong tag from it and keep the text inside the tag.
For this input:



some text <strong> example </strong other text


the result should be:



some text example other text


I tried this but this is deleting the text inside the strong tag



String target = htmlString.replaceAll("<strong.*</strong>", "");

    Is it java or javascript? Sounds more like java, to me. Besides, the input provided has </strong instead of </strong>. Is it intended?
