    StripHtml not stripping HTML

    On a website I've developed I'm using the StripHtml library function in conjunction with the TruncateString for a list of news, but it doesn't seem to be removing an <a> tag. The TruncateString is limiting it to 250, but it's chopping it half way though the <a>, which is causing the HTML to break, but surely if I'm using StripHTML then the <a> shouldn't be there at all?

    My line of XSLT is as follows:

    <p><xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:StripHtml(umbraco.library:TruncateString(data [@alias = 'bodyText'], 250, '...'))" disable-output-escaping="yes" /></p>

    Any idea why this would be happening?

    Thanks

    First you should strip the HTML, after that truncate the string:

    <p><xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:TruncateString(umbraco.library:StripHtml(data [@alias = 'bodyText']), 250, '...')" disable-output-escaping="yes" /></p>
