Thanks Sebastiaan,

In the end I created a extension to the library using a regex to do this.

I want to add the code snippet but the style is not avaiable in my comment window!?

I would never ever recommend you do HTML sanitizing with regex, so many pitfalls there. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags

Just paste the code snippet, and format it with "Preformatted"!

I agree with Seb - regex are dangerous for anything but the most simple examples. Use the HtmlAgility pack - it's much more robust.

Could you please paste your original HTML including any open/closing tags?

The StripHTML function should work for this (and it doesn't use regex)

@Gareth I took that same HTML from the opening post with the <strong> mixed in and found the same problem.

So like this: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,<strong>I am bold</strong> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"

Yup, that should do the trick!

Please test this build http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2923715/LatestRazorMacroEngine-Only.zip

I have rewritten @Library.StripHtml to use HtmlAgilityPack

Hi Gareth,

Just tested the updated dll my results are below;

Works fine:

@Library.StripHtml("<strong>test</strong> goes here")

Errors:

@Library.StripHtml("test")

So looks like your strip html is working but I would expect it also to be able to handle strings without html elements. Error messgae is below I hope this helps with your testing. John

Can stripHTML strip out object tags? 

This is my current version. But it seems like it is stripping everything else out but the object tag, Making my Macro not render.

@Library.Truncate(Library.StripHtml(@nodeItem.GetProperty("bodyText").Value, "img", "a", "object", "param", "table", "embed", "iframe", "strong", "b", "p"),300)

Hi Carlos

That should work, but the Library.StripHtml method is based on HtmlAgilityPack - so if it's not being stripped that would suggest the fault lies there.
Could you try without specifying the tags list to strip out?

I should have responded back to my own post.  For some reason, and we have had this issue before, is that some nodes suddenly became unpublished.  I did a batch publish of the file, but it did not actually publish each node.  Meaning my 'bodyText' property was not rendering. I think it had to rebuild the XML. Our site is over 2000 pages. Not sure if this is an issue with Umbraco or anything else.  But by republishing the nodes individually I was able to get the content to render, without the tags specified.  It all worked out in the end.

Thanks.

Carlos
