Common errors

The user expects entity decoding as well as tag removal.

Fix: Use an HTML decoder too if the input contains encoded entities.

Broken markup produces odd spacing in the output.

Fix: Simplify or clean the HTML source before stripping if needed.

The user wants to preserve some formatting rather than remove everything.

Fix: Use a more specialized HTML cleanup workflow if selective formatting must stay.
