Problem when post title includes html tags

    My site’s post titles include html tags for formatting. For example:

    <b>December Surprises</b></br><span style='font-size: 0.8em'>Late-Year Winners from John Legend and Kate Bush </span>

    These tags are then included by the AddThis plugin in the posts that it would created.

    For example, here is the title as it appears in the AddThis button code:

    addthis:title='<b>December Surprises</b></br><span style='font-size: 0.8em'>Late-Year Winners from John Legend and Kate Bush </span>'

    …and here is the Twitter post it would create:

    bDecember Surprises/b/brspan style='font-size: 0.8em'Late-Year Winners from John Legend and Kate Bush /span http://66.197.98.104/2016/12/06/december-surprises/#.WGtMoU43-gc.twitter

    Instead, I would like it to create a post like this, lacking the tags:

    December Surprises Late-Year Winners from John Legend and Kate Bush http://66.197.98.104/2016/12/06/december-surprises/#.WGtMoU43-gc.twitter

    Is there any way to have the AddThis plugin drop the html tags from the title so that they do not appear in the posts it creates? Thank you.
