Other monks may have wiser suggestions: if I were doing this, I'd strip all the codes before putting the text in the array, using something like

$text =~ s/<.+?>//g;
push @array, $text;
[download]

Then when printing out,

for (@array) {print '<b>' . $_ . '</b>'}
[download]

... or whatever other formatting you might want to use.

Not sure this is what you want to do, but if it is, then this will do it. "Those people who like this kind of thing will find it the kind of thing they like", as Abraham Lincoln says.
