remove_tags not working on html comments

[mosynaq]

I want to remove_tags from '<div><!--<A href="/mypage.htm">-->text</div>'. This is what I get as a result: '-->text', while 'text' is expected.

I think there’s two parts here:

• I would expect you to get <!--<A href="/mypage.htm">-->text, and I think not getting that is a bug.

• You want remove_tags to support also removing comments, which I would say is a feature request.

I meant the latter. Since the HTML comment tag is an HTML tag too, it would be nice to remove them when removing HTML tags are asked. The former would be a good output if it is accessible through a parameter. Anyway, the current output would not be considered an acceptable one.
