Template function to strip HTML?
I have a question about templates (I guess with that I am in the correct lace her at "Library Management", right?):

How can I strip HTML tags from a field in a template? I had a look at The calibre template language, but could not find anything for stripping HTML...

Background: The comments field might contain a lot of HTML (crap) which I don't want to see when I show it in a library column.

That's certainly one way to go: Getting rid of the formatting altogether. But in the Book pane on the right the formatting might serve a purpose.

So I thought just getting rid of it for the display as a column might be the gentler approach.

Are there extensions for the template language?

Yes. You can add your own template functions written in python (User-defined Python template functions), and you can write entire templates in python (Python Template Mode). Both of these can use whatever bits of calibre you wish, although I suggest you be very careful if the function/template changes calibre's database.

The documentation @BR is referring to is here.

I've never tried this plugin myself, but I think it can do what you want:
