Remove HTML tags from XML output

[ServiceNow SA]

Hi team,

I have XML code to display some data in HTML knowledge article template.

However the output has <div> tags in it. How can i remove those?

Here is the sample code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<g:evaluate object="true" var="jvar_statements">

var stmt = new GlideRecord('sn_compliance_policy_statement');
var qr = stmt.addJoinQuery('sn_compliance_m2m_policy_policy_statement', 'sys_id', 'content');
qr.addCondition('document', current.sys_id + '');
qr.orderBy('order');
stmt.query();

stmt;

<p>${current.policy_text}</p>

<j:while test="${jvar_statements.next()}">
<p style="font-weight: bold;"> ${jvar_statements.getValue('name')}</p>

<p>${jvar_statements.getValue('description')}</p>

</j:while>
</j:jelly>

Now the "description" is a HTML field and i need exactly the HTML output.

Expected:

Control: <<Some content>>

A. <<Some content>>

1. <<Some content>>

2. <<Some content>>

Actual:

<div>Control: <<Some content>> <div></div><div></div>A. <<Some content>><div></div>1. <<Some content>><div></div>2. <<Some content>><div></div>

Any help pls.

Hi 

Can you try using the below regex in your code where you are getting the description - .replace(/<\/?[^>]+(>|$)/g, "");

Something like this - 

<p>${jvar_statements.getValue('description').toString().replace(/<\/?[^>]+(>|$)/g, "")}</p>

Hope this helps.

When i am trying to save, getting below error:

"The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup."

Hi 

That is because we did it in the <p> tag of html. Try this in the javascript script of yours, and set the processed value there in the <p> tag.

This is my script. Where exactly should i put that? There is only XML part , nothing else. This is basically Knowledge Article Template (GRC)
