/**
 * This type-detection plug-in will look at an HTML string from a data cell,
 * strip the HTML tags and then check to see if the remaining data is numeric.
 * If it is, then the data can be sorted numerically with the Numbers with HTML
 * sorting plug-in.
 *
 * DataTables 1.10+ has numeric HTML data type and sorting abilities built-in.
 * As such this plug-in is marked as depreciated, but might be useful when
 * working with old versions of DataTables.
 *
 *  @name Numbers with HTML
 *  @summary Detect data which is a mix of HTML and numeric data.
