tool for removing most HTML from content

There is a Remove Formatting feature that strips out inline styles from content. But is there any way to strip out the HTML more aggressively? Is there a tool in CKEditor that will let me strip out all HTML aside from a few tags I specify?

I know there are ways to filter out tags from the output, but is there a way to strip them from the input?

The use cases is that content editors will be pasting in content from a word processing document. I don't want all the extra div tags and classes to copy over from the Word Processing document. Or, if they do copy over, I want a way to strip them out before I save the item.

Is there any solution that does this, either in core or by installing a contrib module?

    No.

    But there is explicit support for pasting from Office (Microsoft Word, Apple Numbers, Google Docs, et cetera).

    Yes: configure your text format to only allow certain tags (which is the case by default in ), and then only those tags will be kept.

    It sounds like you're using ?
