What types of HTML tags or attributes may you need to remove?

• "a" tags:
  If you're preparing content for a publication or platform that doesn't allow hyperlinks, you may need to remove all "a" tags from your text. This could include submitting content to a print publication or preparing content for a social media platform that doesn't allow clickable links.
• "img" tags:
  If you're preparing content for a platform that doesn't support images, you may need to remove all "img" tags from your text. This could include submitting content to a text-only website or preparing content for an email newsletter that doesn't support embedded images.
• "style" and "script" tags:
  In some cases, you may need to remove other HTML tags from your text to ensure that it displays correctly in a particular context. For example, you may need to remove all "style" tags to ensure that your content displays correctly in an email newsletter or remove all "script" tags to prevent security issues.
• "style" attributes:
  If you're cleaning up HTML code to ensure that it displays correctly in a particular context, you may need to remove any style attributes that could interfere with the default styling of the platform or application where you're publishing your content.
• "class" and "id" attributes:
  If you're analyzing text data that includes HTML markup, you may need to remove class and id attributes to ensure that the text is consistent and can be easily analyzed. These attributes are often used for styling and layout purposes and may not be relevant for analysis.
• "onclick" and other event-related attributes:
  If you're preparing content for a platform or application that doesn't allow JavaScript or other interactive features, you may need to remove onclick and other event-related attributes from your HTML code.
• "title" and "alt" attributes:
  If you're preparing content for a platform or application that doesn't support images, you may need to remove title and alt attributes from your HTML code. These attributes provide descriptive text for images and may not be relevant if images are not supported.
