Opening (<p>) and closing (</p>) tags define document structure. Self-closing tags (<br/>, <img/>) also exist. All are removed by default.
Character references like & (&), < (<), © (©). These encode special characters that have meaning in HTML syntax.
<script> blocks contain JavaScript and <style> blocks contain CSS. Their content should be stripped, not just the tags, to avoid code appearing in output.
Inline tags like <strong>, <em>, <span> style text. Block tags like <div>, <p>, <h1> create structure. Structure mode handles both appropriately.
<h1>Hello</h1> <p>This is <strong>bold</strong> text.</p>
Hello This is bold text.
<h1>Title</h1> <p>Paragraph one</p> <ul><li>Item A</li><li>Item B</li></ul>
Title Paragraph one - Item A - Item B
