removing html tags via parameter expansion

Hi all-

I have a variable that contains a web page:

echo $STUFF

<html> <head> <title>my page</title></head> <body> blah blah
etc..

Can I use the shell's parameter expansion abilities to remove just the tags?
I thought that FIXHTML=${STUFF//<*>/} might do it, but it didn't seem to work.

Do I need to escape the < and > or something like that?

Thanks!!
