Is there a way to remove html tags from a string in JavaScript? [duplicate]

Question

I am working with the rich text editor component of primeng. This editor turns everything i type in into html. But sometimes i want to output these texts in plain text instead. Does angular 2 provide a way to easily remove the html tags from the text?

Thank you.

You can achieve this by JavaScript.

Try this!!

var plainText = content.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, '');

This will return you plain text.

Great. I just replaced the coincidences by ` ` because my text is full of line breaks and <ul> tags

This will fail if there is a close angle bracket inside an attribute or a comment.

This answer really helped me with SharePoint rich text columns. There is a lot of garbage markup in there, and it's hard to determine if empty.
