title: jQuery / Regex: remove all p tags
body: <p>I am new to Regex and hope someone can help me with the following: </p>
  
  <p>I have a long string that is saved as a variable. 
  The string contains plain text and HTML tags, incl. p tags. </p>
  
  <p>How can I use Regex to remove all p tags from my string including classes and IDs on the p tags but without losing the text inside ? 
  The string variable can contain one, multiple or no p tags but always contains at least some text.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Example:</strong> 
  How it looks now: </p>
  
  <pre><code>var str = Some awesome text with a &lt;p class='myClass'&gt;new paragraph&lt;/p&gt; and more text.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How it should look: </p>
  
  <pre><code>var str = Some awesome text with a new paragraph and more text.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help with this, Tim.</p>
