Great!

Thank-you.

But I can only use this temporarily, because it's not exactly what I need. I want to specify tags for inclusion. Not for exclusion.

So currently I can go:

(Toggle Plain Text)

strip_tags($text, '<p><div>');

However, that's specifying tags to exclude. Whereas I want something like this:

(Toggle Plain Text)

strip_tags_only($text, '<font>');

To specify the only tags included in the stripping.
