You could use a second replace statement for the closing tags.

OR

You could use the rereplace() function with some regular expression
syntax that allows for pattern matching.

#rereplace("<h2>test page</h2>", "<\\*h2>", "" ,"All")#

Untested regex but I think that would be the right one.

well you could run it twice, or use a regular expression to remove them. This will strip all html out of the string.

REReplaceNoCase(<h2>test page</h2>,"<[^>]*>","","ALL");

For handling html, regular expressions are usually the best bet. Try one of the functions at cflib.org, such as:
http://www.cflib.org/index.cfm?event=page.udfbyid&udfid=1598

I have not tried that one, but there are several that do a good job with variable white space in tags (< / h2> ) and optional attributes.

Oops. I did not see spill's response before replying ;-)

he he im just too fast for you, but it was worth you posting that function is much more substantial than the standard REReplace as it allows you to specify a specific tag.

Haha. Yes, too slow at the keyboard today ;-)
