Re: Rules: Strip html tags from a given value

It is possible that the <(.|n)*?> regex could cause stackoverflow errors where the system runs out of memory.

It is recommended that this <.*?> regex rather be used .

An SXI request has been logged to have a stripHTML rule developed.

Re: Rules: Strip html tags from a given value

The stripHTML rule has been added to the XLayer Rules library and should be used to strip HTML markup from data.
