Hi Fuji,

What data-type is used for the property? Is it a rich-text editor? (TinyMCE)

The 'disable-output-escaping' basically keeps the less-than < and greater-than > characters as they are, instead of converting them into their entities (&lt; and &gt;).

Not sure how this is causing you a problem, if you are still having an issue with it, could you provide a code snippet along with an explanation of what you would like to achieve.

Thanks, Lee.

Hi Lee,

Yes am using the Rich-text editor under v 4.7.1.

Well lets say when typying some text in the wysiwyg, its always displaying the <p> Tag (in the case when disable output is set to No.)

On the other hand if i set it to "Yes" my content output is all squeeze!!!

Here is my xslt

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:TruncateString(eDes, 150, '...')" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

Hi Fuji,

The TruncateString will not remove any of the HTML, so if you would like to get the plain-text, then try this:

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:TruncateString(umbraco.library:StripHTML(eDes), 150, '...')" />

If you would like the HTML to be intact, then that is much much more difficult.  However, the guys at Cogworks have written something to do this - no package release, just a code snippet, read more on their blog post: http://thecogworks.co.uk/blog/2011/1/21/n-word-preview-for-blog4umbraco

Good luck!

Cheers, Lee.

Hi Lee,

Unfortunately this didnt work for me, its returning an error when saving my xslt.

System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransformException: Extension object 'urn:umbraco.library' does not contain a matching 'StripHTML' method that has 1 parameter(s)

Its quiet annoying, lets say the admin just paste some text in the wysiwyg with a <p> tag or any other tag like <strong>, the output is not really nice.

Sorry, I wrote the XSLT off the top of my head... I got the casing wrong for the function name.

It should be "StripHtml", not "StripHTML". Doh! ;-)

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:TruncateString(umbraco.library:StripHtml(eDes), 150, '...')" />

Cheers, Lee.
