Hi André!

You could use <i>strip_tags</i>. But you need to set it up first in the [php]-block of template.ini:

[PHP]
PHPOperatorList[striptags]=strip_tags

Then use it in templates like this:

{$node.data_map._ATTRIBUTE_NAME_.content.output.output_text|striptags()}

Hope this will help you!

Hi,

You are obvioulsy going to loose the new lines (as it strips <p> tags too). I haven't find a better solution, but if you find something, please share.
