No, I'm getting the source with sockets, so I have no real control over it. Granted, I could edit it while receiving it, but I'd rather find a good "$htmlfree" method of just removing all html aspects from the line. Also, I have a feeling that just using something like $replace(%text,a[a],[a],b[b],[b],c[c],[c],...) or using $remove on the original returned text $remove(%text,a]'>,b]'>,c]'>,...) would be more efficient then editing every line and then running it through $htmlfree, even though that's not very efficient itself. I know I could just do that and it would be "easy" to do... but I'd rather something efficient.
