Implements client-side Strip HTML Tags to Markdown operations. Parses HTML DOM elements, strips tag structures, and decodes standard HTML character references specifically designed for a content editor converts a rich-text html snippet into clean plain text for sms notification.

  1. Line Stream Ingestion & Normalization: Splits input text on universal newline boundaries (CRLF, LF, CR) into indexed line arrays.
  2. Hashing & Set Intersection: Indexes unique lines in HashSets for rapid set comparison and deduplication.
  3. Sequential Filtering & Collation: Applies trimming, case-folding, sorting (ASCII or natural alphabetical), or prefix/suffix concatenation.
  4. Output Reconstruction: Joins result lines with user-selected line separators, providing item counts and reduction percentages.

Limits and verification

Handles multi-megabyte text payloads up to browser heap limits (~50-100 MB). Normalizes varied Unicode characters before comparison if case-insensitive mode is active. Preserves empty lines when configured.

Examples demonstrate an expected workflow; they do not prove every input or every branch of an external specification. Check important results with an independent source before using them for money, security, compliance, safety, or irreversible file changes.

Browser processing boundary

Tool input is processed by code running in the browser and is not intentionally sent to a CZOA processing API. The page can still request ordinary site assets, analytics, or advertising when those services are enabled. Browser extensions and managed-device software remain outside this tool's control.

Frequently asked questions

How does Strip HTML Tags transform text?+

It first removes script and style blocks with regular expressions, removes remaining angle-bracket tags, replaces four named entities, collapses whitespace, and trims the result.

What did the HTML fixture return?+

The input with a paragraph, nbsp, amp entity, and script returns A & B. The script content is removed before generic tag replacement.

Which HTML cases are not parsed?+

This is not a DOM parser or sanitizer: malformed markup, attribute values containing brackets, comments, all entities, CSS parsing, links, and rendering semantics are outside its regex rules.

What is proved by the isolated browser check?+

It proves this text transformation for the tested string. It does not prove XSS safety in another renderer, document validity, upload filtering, or policy enforcement.
