I'm happy storing them (in fact, I need the stored) but when it comes to summarising the field, and I don't want line breaks, italics, bold, urls etc, how do I remove the "<" and ">"'s etc?

I suggest that you not alter the data that is inputted. If it needs to be filtered for HTML display purposes, that's fine, but you should do that filtering at the presentation level. That is, let the data being stored be the real data and then worry about the < and > characters when they're a problem.
