?

I trie

Answer 1

A lot of the other answers to this question will only replace up to certain amount of elements, or use complex loops. I came up with a simple regex that can be used to replace any number of
tags with a single tag. This works with multiple instances of multiple tags in a string.

/(
*)+/g

To implement this in JavaScript, you can use the String.replace method:

myString.replace(/(
*)+/g, "
");

To replace multiple
tags, add a / to the regex:

/(*)+/g
