 * Hey folks, how do I strip tags from the following title functions?
 *     ```
       <h5><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
                 <?php the_title(); ?>
                 </a></h5>
               <p>
                 <?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?>
               </p></li>
       ```
   
 * Some of my blog titles have `<br> <em>` etc. and I’d like to remove them here.
 * Thanks!

 * Nevermind. I found what I’m looking for in the [`the_title_attribute()`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_title_attribute)
   referenced [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-tags-in-the_title-repeated-in-title-attribute-of-ltagt-link?replies=6#post-1026072).
