how do I put the tags I want back though.

Specifically consider the example

 <= 

where I want to display a bold 'arrow'

strip tags will just remove the tags I want.

But htmlspecialchars simply turns all tags into (displayed ) raw html.

yes, but that's not the output I want.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
