html脚本里怎么删除空字符,删除脚本中的HTML标记

我在互联网上找到了这段代码.它需要一个句子,并使每个单词与该单词链接.但它有一个弱点:如果一个句子中有HTML,这个脚本不会删除它.

例如:它取代' asserted'with' http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/asserted'

你能告诉我在这段代码中要改变什么来改变' asserted'到' http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/asserted'.

var content = document.getElementById("sentence").innerHTML;

var punctuationless = content.replace(/[.,\/#!$%\?^?&\*;:{}=\-_`~()”“"]/g, "");

var mixedCase = punctuationless.replace(/\s{2,}/g);

var finalString = mixedCase.toLowerCase();

var words = (finalString).split(" ");

var punctuatedWords = (content).split(" ");

var processed = "";

for (i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {

processed += "";

processed += punctuatedWords[i];

processed += " ";

}

document.getElementById("sentence").innerHTML = processed;
