Question

I have some text like this:

<span>My text</span>

I want to display without tags:

My text

I also don't want to apply the tags, I want to strip them. What's an easy way to do that?

Angular html:

<div>{{myText | htmlToPlaintext}}</div>

Answer

jQuery is about 40 times SLOWER , please do not use jQuery for that simple task.

function htmlToPlaintext(text) {
  return text ? String(text).replace(/<[^>]+>/gm, '') : '';
}

usage :

var plain_text = htmlToPlaintext( your_html );

With angular.js :

angular.module('myApp.filters', []).
  filter('htmlToPlaintext', function() {
    return function(text) {
      return  text ? String(text).replace(/<[^>]+>/gm, '') : '';
    };
  }
);

use :

<div>{{myText | htmlToPlaintext}}</div>
#angularjs
