I would advise, for example, this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.regularexpressions.regex.replace.aspx[^].

However, the whole idea looks like less than perfect to me. If some text is formatted as HTML, it was probably done on purpose in first place. Stripped from formatting, it might look ugly. Why not showing it as is, as rendered HTML? There great components provided at CodeProject could help:
A Professional HTML Renderer You Will Use[^],
WPF HTML Supported TextBlock[^].
