Title: Use replace

Use replace. This matches any tag that is not in the list, as described. So replace any match with an empty string to remove tags that are not <a> or <img>. But you can add any tagname you wish with or pipe delimiters. e.g. (a|i|b|strong)

Hi.
I hav etried this and the tags which got stripped from my source were the anchor tags.
This regex therefore, seems to do the exact opposite of its decription.
Regards,
Neil.
