Description
Right now I'm just excluding any articles with HTML tags (explicitly, the ">") character in the headline or lede. But I can pretty much guarantee that there are libraries that implement HTML handling (beautifulsoup?) that I could be leveraging to do this smarter (and thus with fewer Guardian API calls).

Research direction
Start by locating the notebook code that filters Guardian API results based on HTML tags in headlines or ledes. Review the existing exclusion logic and investigate the HTML-handling approach mentioned in the issue. Done means HTML is stripped from both fields before filtering, reducing unnecessary Guardian API calls.
