I want to remove all the html tags except   or   tags from a string using javascript.
I have seen many questions like this but their answers will remove all the html tags including   and   tags.

Does anyone knows a regex to do this?

Try This

 function remove_tags(html)

 {

   var html = html.replace(<br>,||br||);  

   var tmp = document.createElement(DIV);

   tmp.innerHTML = html;

   html = tmp.textContent||tmp.innerText;

   return html.replace(||br||,<br>);  

 }

Remove html tags except < br> or < br/> tags with javascript
