Removing HTML tags in Notepad++

Question

I'm trying to remove some tags using the Find and Replace feature of Notepad++.

What I'm trying to remove for example is <num> and </num>. Right now I'd input <num> and replace it, then input </num> and replace that.

How can I do this in one shot?

Here I already found out how to remove class="???".

Are you absolutely sure you want to remove < num > and not <num>? — slhck, Commented Mar 13, 2012 at 11:46
<num> is valid html, < num > would not work (at least not in modern browsers. — conspiritech, Commented Mar 13, 2012 at 14:15
Rolled back. Sifr87, please check your formatting next time – it was right all along. — slhck, Commented Mar 13, 2012 at 21:59
