in other programming situations, I've used a Regular Expression to strip html tags out of a field, leaving just the content; would that be a possibility?
then you could do Field=StripHtml(SomeValue)
Public Function StripHTML(ByVal s As String) As String
Return Regex.Replace(s, "<(.|)*?>", String.Empty)
End Function
