Hi All,
How to parse HTML tags information into normal text without using the [code][/code].

Hi @sree06 

you can use

var strPlainText = new GlideSPScriptable().stripHTML(yourHtmlStr);

Hi @sree06 ,

Just for awareness in case the html used is helping in formatting the data (tags like "p" for paragraphs or even "div" or "br" ), the formatting will be lost. If that is the case then you might want to convert some of those tags to text representation before stripping. For example changing out break tags <br /> or ending div "</div>" and  paragraph "</p>" tags  with "\n". 

This way you won't have a bunch of garbled up text.

Would love to see an example of that, @sree06.

Hello @sree06, 

You can use decodeHTML() functionality in servicenow to convert your HTML information into the Normal Text.
