Is there a CRM Deluge function available to convert an RTF (rich text field) to plain text (with no formatting tags)?

Is there a CRM Deluge function available to convert an RTF (rich text field) to plain text (with no formatting tags)?

I know that we can run reports so that RTF fields can either show as plain text or the text or the text with the formatting fields included (which is wonderful, btw, as it helps me adjust tags when I need to troubleshoot and just see what I need to see in my report for content other times).

That said, I have need to do that on the fly in the system at times to put part of a RTF field into a plain text formula, and I haven't found a built in function to do this for me. Since you do it in the reports, I assume you have this functionality at your fingertips already. Would you kindly make that function available for string conversion in Deluge? If it's there and I missed it, apologies! Kindly just advise where to find it. 

I have made a makeshift version of my own in the interim, but it's not perfect and I'd rather not default to over-remove content as parentheses and such come in when colors are involved, etc. Again, why reinvent the wheel when you have one? :) Thanks in advance!
