title: Convert HTML text into plain text
body: <p>Is there a method or function that does this, or do I have to check each character of a string. To give an idea on what I'm talking about, for example. I have an HTML TEXT like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Welcome&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;to this&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;message,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;you may come in peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to convert it into a plain text, resulting into:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Welcome to this message, you may come in peace.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The text will come from a textarea which is a child of a <code>div</code> with an <code>id = editor-email</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I also wanted to take the current text, but it won't work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var textEmail = $('#editor-email').find('textarea').text();
  </code></pre>
