MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Composite Columns: Stripping HTML from a value

M. Northstar · 08-27-2019, 09:49 AM

Hi. I'm sorry if this has been addressed before, but if so, about an hour of reading the manual and searching the forums didn't find it.

I want to create a custom column that takes the value of the Title field, and my custom column Sub Title, and puts them together as Display Name.

I have gotten so far as this template:

Code:

{title}{#sub:|: |}

which does everything I want, except that the #sub field (which is a long text field) returns HTML-formatted text. How do I make it return just the plain text, as it does in the column itself?
