Step Suggestion RTF To Plain Text

Comments

  • You may have this step but I cant find it yet - rich text format to plain text format. I see a RTF to HTML, but not plain text. I can use various other steps to strip it out, but I can never be 100% sure I get them all since I wont know if they use a bold or underline somewhere.

    The reason for using a rich text box is the spell check ability the browser has with it. The other text boxes dont have spell check.

    Business case: Im using a rich text box for notes on contracts. When that is saved it includes the HTML info with it. In decisions, in the reports, the report strips the HTML parts out natively, but when you print that report the HTML parts are included.

  • This was actually very easy to accomplish with the text merge step. Perhaps a note in the documentation to explain this is possible with this step?

  • Besides the Text Merge step, also look at the HTML to Ascii step. That may actually be what you are after.

    Please let us know how this works for you and if you have any further questions.
