Custom text column with no HTML

mfaine · 01-07-2011, 11:43 AM

I'd like to keep my personal reviews for Goodreads in a custom text column but I find their importing function mangles the included HTML (some of which isn't allowed in the import: DIV). Is it possible to configure a text field with no HTML or have a clear all HTML button. It seems that P and BR are OK with goodreads but I'd be OK to add those back myself if necessary.

Use the edit html source function and use only <p> tags.

Use the clear formatting button, which is the recycling symbol. It zaps almost everything.
