How to extract html tags from Knowledge Articles?

[Community Alums]

For CMS, trying to display all knowledge articles in a single page. So, creating a new page from scratch using jelly. I want to display two lines of the articles text for each knowledge article. How to extract the text only from the html text field? where can I find the script?

Right now it is like this,

If I do that, some articles are good. But, some articles are displayed with <hr> and <br>. See below.

Hi Rajini,

htmlText.stripScripts().stripTags();   is not working on <hr/> and <br/> but working on <hr> so I guess yes. let us use the regular expression as well. it will work.

function removeHTMLTagsCMS(inputId, divId){

      var htmlText = $(inputId).getValue();

      htmlText =   htmlText.stripScripts().stripTags();   // prototype methods to strip tags and strip scripts
      htmlText=htmlText.replace(/<(?:.|\s)*?>/g, " ");

      $(divId).update(htmlText) ;

}
