Hi Ory,





Valid HTML stripping is quite a complex task, but you can try using something like this - should be enough for the majority of use cases:



function stripHtml(html)

{

  var stripAllTags = new RegExp("(<style[^>]*?>(.*)(</style[^>]*?>|$))|(<script[^>]*?>(.*)(</script[^>]*?>|$))|(<[^<]*?>)", "g");

  var text = html.replace(stripAllTags, " ");

  

  // Expand common entities

  var entityMapping = {};       

  entityMapping["&quot;"] = "\"";

  entityMapping["&apos;"] = "'";

  entityMapping["&lt;"] = "<";

  entityMapping["&gt;"] = ">";

  entityMapping["&nbsp;"] = " ";

  entityMapping["&amp;"] = "&";  

  

  for (var key in entityMapping)

  {

    text = text.replace(new RegExp(key, "g"), entityMapping[key]);

  }

  

  // Remove duplicated spaces

  text = text.replace(new RegExp("(\\s){2,}", "g"), " ");

  

  return text;

}









Does that mean that what Alexei suggested would not work?



This will make TestComplete display the message as formatted HTML, but will not strip HTML tags from the message.
