Removing HTML tags using XSLT.

We have faced issues many times in XSLT when we require just to show text and no html content. So here is the solution. Call the template "remove-html" with passing the content and this will do it.

<!-- Calling the template that removes tag -->

<xsl:call-template name="remove-html">

    <xsl:with-param name="text" select="{HtmlBody}"/>

</xsl:call-template>

<!-- This will remove the tag -->

<xsl:template name="remove-html">

    <xsl:param name="text"/>

    <xsl:choose>

        <xsl:when test="contains($text, '&lt;')">

            <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, '&lt;')"/>

            <xsl:call-template name="remove-html">

                    <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text, '&gt;')"/>

            </xsl:call-template>

        </xsl:when>

        <xsl:otherwise>

            <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>

        </xsl:otherwise>

    </xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>
