I have a large string with html tags in it

preg_replace('/([\s\S]{5})(?![^\s\S])/', '$1 ', $output);

the regex above chops the long string like below. notice the </p>

 

ddddd ddddd d dddd dd ddd< /p>

 

what i need is like below and with the html tags ignored, still in the string

 

ddddd ddddd ddddd ddddd

 

the above needs to be displayed correctly with the html tags such as bold still in the long string.

 

thank you

you need to be more specific about what tags you want to keep and what tags you want to toss. "toss the paragraph tag but leave the html tags such as bold..." well they are ALL html tags. Also, there are several ways that last part can be bolded. You need to show actual content, a "before" and "after" picture (the viewsource, not the rendered), and exactly what tags you want to keep and toss. "Such as.." is vague.
