Is there a way to remove the HTML blockquote tag, but keep the text? Basically, if in my code was <blockquote>Hello!</blockquote>, I'd want it to display as Hello! - I don't know if there's a way to filter the blockquotes out or just clone the text, but an answer would be quite helpful!

Use contents with unwrap:

$("blockquote").contents().unwrap();

You can use .html() to achieve this

$("blockquote").html()
