# Strip HTML tags from string — HTML Parser
Botize method — `btzhtmlparser.html_strip_tags` (action).
Removes HTML and/or XML tags from a string of text. Allows specifying a list of tags to keep in the text and remove all others.
The text that may have been contained between deleted tags is preserved.
This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.
## Fields you set
The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.
- `html_string` *(string)* — HTML String
- `allowed_tags` *(string)* — Allowed HTML Tags list
## Output variables
Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.
- `{{stripped_text}}` *(text)* — Stripped text
