title: Remove html tags around text which includes a new line
body: <p>I have tags as follows in a .html file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;td&gt;
  &lt;P CLASS="abc"&gt;
  hello&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;/td&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to remove the <code>&lt;P&gt;</code> tags around the text and also remove the new line character after the first <code>&lt;P&gt;</code> tag, so that I only get the following text.   </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;td&gt;
  hello
  &lt;/td&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The files are on a Linux server, so if anyone has any Linux methods for this, I'm interested. I can access the files also with Notepad++ which allows regular expressions for Find/Replace. </p>
