Remove HTML tag and keep text

Question

Is there a way to remove the HTML blockquote tag, but keep the text? Basically, if in my code was <blockquote>Hello!</blockquote>, I'd want it to display as Hello! - I don't know if there's a way to filter the blockquotes out or just clone the text, but an answer would be quite helpful!

Answer 1

Use contents with unwrap:

$("blockquote").contents().unwrap();
