Remove all tags of a tkinter text widget

Is there a way to remove all of the tags on a text widget in tkinter?

text.tag_config("NONE",font=Font(family="Arial",size=10))
text.add_tag("NONE","1.0","end")

does not work. If I make part of the text colored red and try to remove that tag, nothing happens. The only way I can clear the tag (as a user) is to delete the text that was tagged with red.

To remove any single tag, use tag_remove, giving it the tag name. To remove from the entire document use the index "1.0" and "end"

text.tag_remove("the_tag", "1.0", "end")

To remove all tags, iterate over a list of all tags. You can get a list of all the tags with tag_names(). The list will include all of your custom tags along with the tag "sel" which is used to manage the selection.

for tag in text.tag_names():
    text.tag_remove(tag, "1.0", "end")
