Strip html tags from parsed RSS

[B_W_P]

Hi all, I'm struggling to find a way to prevent/remove the <p> tags from text produced by the RSS Import block

The following code in the 'content' section of the block...

{{if !empty( $items ) }}
<ul>
{{foreach $items as $item}}
	<li>
		<div class="link"><a href="{$item['link']}" target="_blank"><h3>{$item['title']}</h3></a></div>
		<div>{$item['content']}</div>
	</li>
{{endforeach}}
</ul>
{{endif}}

....produces text with a paragraph <p> around the content, e.g.

• Uber drivers are workers not self-employed, Supreme Court rules

  <p>The decision could mean thousands of Uber drivers are set to receive minimum wage and holiday pay.</p>

• High Court urged to overturn PM's decision to stand by Priti Patel

  <p>Boris Johnson's defence of the home secretary over bullying claims caused "dismay and anger", a union says.</p>

• Covid vaccine passports could discriminate, experts warn

  <p>They are 'feasible' but need to meet 12 tests before being brought in, the Royal Society says.</p>

 

 

The <p> tag isn't in the original RSS feeds, and I've tried many feeds, so it's being introduced by the block. The above text was parsed from http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml

 

Do any of you know how I can prevent the tag being added, or strip the tag from the results?

 

Thanks!

Thanks a million @Nathan Explosion! That worked perfectly

My next quest is to figure out how to turn the 10 digit date string the IPS block is parsing from the RSS feed into a human readable format, for example:

The RSS feed says "Sun, 21 Feb 2021 19:35:59 GMT" but the block is pulling out....

["date"]=> int(1613939402)

and it just shows the last time the feed was updated when the following default code in the block is used

{datetime="$item['date']"

I'm assuming it'll be something simple I'm missing! 🤔

[Nathan Explosion]

<div>{expression="\IPS\DateTime::ts($item['date'])"}</div>

OR

<div>{expression="\IPS\DateTime::ts($item['date']->relative())"}</div>

You need to be extremely careful using |raw especially if the content is coming from an outside source without being cleaned. Incorrect use could open your community to XSS attacks.
