Converting HTML to Text

[SamPo]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a value I recieve via API from HTML to plain text. I need to post this info to another API that doesn't accept HTML.

Even though there are a number of 'div' and '&nbsp' in the HTML, the action simply removes all the HTML tags and squishs all the text together without any spaces.

Is this the expected behaviour of this action? Seems a bit pointless if this is the case.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi @SamPo ,

I have made some tests on my side.

I am afraid it is the expected behaviour of this action.

You can use some different HTML for a test.

When I use the <p> tag, the text will have spaces.

I have same issue. I want to convert email text (may be in Rich text or HTML) to plain text and send to sQL for inserting records. I have used "HTML To Plain text connector" and it display content with formatting into variable. But when I am assigning same variable to SQL stored procedure, there it shows "\n" in place of paragraphs. Also all spacing is killed. Do you have any suggestion to counter that?

To me, this is not really a solution. Is there a way to preserve the spaces, etc?
