When working through MODx API on a chunk that is not being processed through a request. (ie using MODx externally as a CMF) what would be the proper way to scrub out any un-processed tags.

Or...

Is there a way when calling modChunk->processes to force all tags to be removed if not processed

example
```
$someHtmlWithTags;

$chunk = $modx-> getNewObject('modChunk');
$output = $chunk->process($params,$someHTMLWithTags);

echo $output; // at this point any tags that were not sent in $params or not previously set in placeholder will remain in the ouput;
```

You will need to finish the processing using:
```
<?php
$modx->parser->processElementTags('', $output, true, true);
```
This will operate on the $output by reference and the fourth parameter instructs it to remove unprocessed tags.
