/**
 * DataTables has a built in type called `html` which will strip HTML tags 
 * from a search string, but it doesn't cope with nested HTML inside another 
 * element's attributes (for example DOM0 events with have HTML in them). This
 * plug-in function overrules the built-in method and provides complete HTML
 * tag removal.
 * 
 * Note that this function is not included in DataTables by
 * default because it is slightly slower than the built-in method, which is
 * good enough for by far the majority of use cases.
 *

 *            "columnDefs": [
