Hi,

in a repository of MDM 5.5.42.98 (Sp05) we use HTML blocks in order to provide a better WYSIWYG experience for the users. The content is later output to RTF files. However, we also need to syndicate these data to TXT files with Syndicator. There I found the property "Strip HTML" in the Destination Items tab. According to the reference guide it is supposed to strip all HTML tags. However it strips the whole content of the HTML block. I see only the last >.

Does anyone have any experience with that?

Thanks in advance

Christian

Hi,

I tried the scenario using the following HTML code:

<HTML>

<Body bgcolor="Red">

This is HTML

</Body>

</HTML>

and Strip HTML property is working perfectly fine as per the definition stated in the reference guide.

When i am selecting this property I am getting "This is HTML" at the output otherwise i am getting the entire code i.e. it is behaving properly.

Try creating the HTML file with some small code as shown above n map only two fields say TextHTML and Material to the corresponding destination items and check the result.Do not set any other property of the Destination Item.

Hi Jitesh,

thanks for you answer.

I tried it again with the simple HTML you provided. Now I mapped only this field and nothing else. The result is the same: only a ">" at the end. Without the "Strip HTML"-property checked I get the complete HTML code.

It looks like an error. What version are you using?

Hi Christian,

I am using MDM 5.5 SP6 {5.5.61.48}

Lets verify all the steps:

1. Create the field in the repository of type Lookup{Text HTML}

2. Create the HTML file.

3. Upload this file in the Text HTMLs table in the Data Manager.

4. Assign this HTML file to some of the records.

5. Create the 2 Destination Items in the MDM Syndicator

6. Set the search criteria to select the records on which file has been assigned.

7. Map the fields with the Destination Items.

8. Observer the o/p with Strip HTML = Checked and Strip HTML = default.

Which Version you are using? And please let us know the o/p by following the above steps.

Regards,

Jitesh Talreja

Hi Jitesh,

I did exactly as you said with an all new repository.

Without this "Strip HTML" option I have the HTML file plus some MDM HTML enhancements:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body bgcolor="Red">
    This is HTML
  </body>
</html>

However when I activate this option, I get only the last > and a line break.

I am using 5.5.42.98. I have SP06 on my desk. I will probably try it next week.

Thanks

Christian

Hi Christian,

I tried the same thing on MDM 5.5 SP05 {5.5.42.92} and the result is the same that you have stated.So we can conclude that its a version problem while the same thing is working on MDM 5.5 SP06.

Please mark the thread as answered if your query has been solved.
