List of stripped HTML-Tags in Publication Mode

Hi,
I'm doing some research about the printing abilities of MDM PCM.
For this reason im searching for the HTML-Tags which are stripped out in the different Modes (especially Publication Mode)
I got a hind in "MDM Data Manger Reference Guide" on Page 521, that HTML tags are stripped out, but I can't find a List with the tags.
Regards
Christoph Kohler

Hi Christoph,
In terms of properly viewing HTMLs in the publication modes, there is actually a small piece of intermediary software that is available to our customers who use MDM to publish catalogs. It is called the HTML filter. Basically what it does is translate your HTMLs to tags that may be read by the publication modes. Tags that are supported by this filter are:
attributesStr << " border-top-style:solid; border-top-color:black; border-top-width:" << borderWidth << "pt;";
attributesStr << " border-left-style:solid; border-left-color:black; border-left-width:" << borderWidth << "pt;";
attributesStr << " border-bottom-style:solid; border-bottom-color:black; border-bottom-width:" << borderWidth << "pt;";
attributesStr << " border-right-style:solid; border-right-color:black; border-right-width:" << borderWidth << "pt;";
attributesStr << " font-style:italic;";
attributesStr << " font-weight:bold;";
attributesStr << " font-size:" << dFontSize << "pt;";
attributesStr << " font-family:" << fontFamily << ";";
attributesStr << " text-align:" << textAlign << ";";
attributesStr << " vertical-align:top;";
attributesStr << " vertical-align:middle;";
attributesStr << " vertical-align:bottom;";
attributesStr << " background-color:" << bgColor << ";";
attributesStr << " vertical-align:sub;";
attributesStr << " vertical-align:super;";
Hard coded table attributes are
cleansedHtmlStr += StringNL("<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse\"");
The table cells support rowspan and colspan attributes.
 is used for hard returns.
tags that are picked out of the source HTML are:
mainTags.push_back(StringNL("table"));
mainTags.push_back(StringNL("#text")); //meaning any text outside of the table
mainTags.push_back(StringNL("br"));
These three types of objects are represented in the filtered HTML with style attribute markup.
For example, #text is filtered to my text
The use of this filter is a temporary workaround. Development is planned to incorporate this process into the Data Manager so that the user will eventually have the option of creating HTML "variants" similar to the variants that can currently be created for images. This way, you will be able to store a version of the HTML code that is appropriate for both web and print.
Please contact me directly via email [email protected] for further information regarding this issue.
Hope this is helpful,

Oracle function to strip HTML tags in data

Hi, may I know if there is any oracle function that can strip HTML tags from the data? I am currently using Oracle 9i. Therefore is unable to use the RegExp_Replace functionality provided by Oracle 10g.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

I found this function:
function str_html ( line in varchar2 ) return
varchar2 is
x varchar2(32767) := null;Let's hope whoever uses this doesn't want to deal with large XML's.
This question would have been better asked over in the XDB forum. All depends whether there is a schema available to describe the XML, what version of the database etc. With a schema, the schema could be registered into the Oracle 10g database and that used to create relational tables automatically, from where you can load in the XML files. Loads of information available on the XDB forum, most likely in the FAQ's on there.

Stripping HTML Tags from a String

What's the best way to remove html tags from a string (i.e. user input)?

Can you give an example? You can do substring, if your passing spaces between pages you can do a trim to the variable. Also look at the indexOf(). Look at methods relating to java.lang.String.

Strip HTML by regexp?

Hi,
 
In short: what's the regexp for stripping HTML tags?
 
I want to give users the option of some basic formatting when entering note fields. Most of the time a plain Text Area will suit their purposes, and displaying a Text Area with HTML Editor will just scare them.
 
(Sadly Text Area with HTML Editor items are not configurable - I really want to be able to switch off options like Justification, Foreground and Background. It's very irritating to be typing this post into the sort of item I want to provide!)
 
My prototype solution is a radio button which allows users to toggle between a plain Text Area and one with an Editor, preserving any text so far entered. Fine, I've got that far.
 
When the user switches from plain text to Editor, I just replace chr(10) with ' ' and all is well.
 
When the user switches from Editor to plain text, I need to strip the HTML tags out.
 
I've googled far and wide for a regular expression to do it, but all the solutions I've found are in VB, Perl, Python or whatever.
 
Clearly the HTMLDB team have cracked it - I imagine that the Strip HTML option on reports is a regexp_replace - so would anyone please care to share?
 
Many thanks,
 
John D
PS the commonly-cited expression '<(.|\n)*?>' doesn't work:
 
SQL> select regexp_replace('abc','<(.|\n)*?>',null) str from dual;
S
- 
PPS when I previewed this post, my linebreaks were lost, so I had to put them in manually.Odd.

SQL> select regexp_replace('abc','<[^>]*>',null) str from dual;

abcseems to work for simple markup

Need a quicker way to strip most html tag while retaining a few.

I have to strip the majority of non plane text (html, javascript, css) from a file whilst retaining the html tags I want.
I have found many solutions for stripping ALL of the tags but not for stripping most whilst retaining a few.
I first looked at regular expressions but I could not find a solution that didnt involve specifying all the tags I want removed insted of just listing all the tags I want to keep.
I had something like this> str.replaceAll("\\<+?(^p|^th|^tr|^td|^h2|^h3|^h4|^li).+?\\>","") but it does not work.
A regular expression would be great but I could not find one so I coded my own solution.
The code below goes through each tag (both start and end tags) and strips it from the string if it is not a wanted tag.
private void stripTags(int startIndex){
 int startArrow = 0;
 int endArrow = 0;
 while(true){
 startArrow = text.indexOf("<", startIndex);
 endArrow = text.indexOf(">", startArrow+1);
 //reached EOF?
 if(startArrow == -1 || endArrow == -1) return; // return -1;
 if(text.substring(startArrow+1, startArrow+2).equals("/")){
 //deal with the end tag
 if(isWantedTag(text.substring(startArrow+2, startArrow+4))) {
 startIndex = endArrow+1;
 } else {
 //remove the tag
 text = text.substring(0, startArrow).concat(text.substring(endArrow+1, text.length()));
 startIndex = startArrow;
 } else {
 //deal with the start tag
 if(isWantedTag(text.substring(startArrow+1, startArrow+3))){
 //remove tag parameters
 if(endArrow-(startArrow+2) > 1) text = text.substring(0, startArrow+3).concat(text.substring(endArrow, text.length()));
 startIndex = text.indexOf(">", startArrow+1)+1;
 } else {
 //remove the tag
 text = text.substring(0, startArrow).concat(text.substring(endArrow+1, text.length()));
 startIndex = startArrow;
private boolean isWantedTag(String tag){
 return (tag.equals("p>") || tag.equals("p ") || tag.equals("th") || tag.equals("tr") || tag.equals("td") || tag.equals("h2") || tag.equals("h3") || tag.equals("h4") || tag.equals("li"));
 }The problem is that this code is taking ages to run. It takes about 10 seconds to run this method on a very large html file. I need a solution that takes only a 10th of that time.
Does anybody have a regExp that could do the job or a more efficient version on my tag stripper above?
Thanks in advance

I suggest the following template:
int copyFrom = 0;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
while (copyFrom < text.length()) {
 int copyTo = findStartTag(text, copyFrom);
 sb.append(text, copyFrom, copyTo);
 copyFrom = findEndTag(text, copyTo + 1);
text = sb.toString();where findStartTag(String s, int offset) returns the index of the next start tag in s, starting search at offset. It should return s.length() rather than -1 if nothing is found. findEndTag is similar.
Sorry, that's obviously wrong since you don't want to remove everything between the tags, just the tags themselves. The basic idea is the same, though:
int copyFrom = 0;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
while (copyFrom < text.length()) {
 int copyTo = findStartOfTagToRemove(text, copyFrom);
 sb.append(text, copyFrom, copyTo);
 copyFrom = findEndOfTagToRemove(text, copyTo) + 1;
text = sb.toString();Here, findStartOfTagToRemove finds the position of the '<' character of the next tag to remove.
And findEndOfTagToRemove finds the position of the '>' character of that tag.

Stripping all HTML tags from a CLOB

Hi all,
Running Oracle 9.2.0.8 on AIX...
We have a table which stores HTML document fragments in a clob. I have a requirement to convert these to plain/text (strip all HTML tags) for sending in a plain/text email body.
I have read the following solution from Tom Kyte's site:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:25695084847068
Basically creating an Oracle text index on the CLOB column and calling ctx_doc.filter with "plaintext" parameter set to true.
I noticed in Tom's example, he uses the default filter, which based on the docs, is NULL_FILTER, which applies no filtering. I have tried his example in my dev box, creating the text index on the CLOB column with no parameters.
The call to ctx_doc.filter did not filter the html at all. I re-created the index and specified the INSO_FILTER and the filtering was done. I was under the impression that INSO_FILTER was for filtering binary content to plaintext...
create table filter ( query_id number, document clob );
create table demo
( id int primary key,
 theclob clob
create index demo_idx on demo(theClob) indextype is ctxsys.context;
SET DEFINE OFF;
Insert into DEMO
 (ID, THECLOB)
Values
 (1, '<html><body>This is a test of ctx_doc.filter and plaintext filtering.</body></html>');
COMMIT;
exec ctx_doc.filter('demo_idx',1, 'filter',1, true);The above code does not convert the html to plaintext...
Now re-create with the index with INSO_FILTER
drop index demo_idx;
create index demo_idx on demo(theClob) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters ('filter ctxsys.inso_filter');
exec ctx_doc.filter('demo_idx',1, 'filter',1, true);Above scenario returns string "This is a test of ctx_doc.filter and plaintext filtering."
The ORacle documentation doesn't specify any special filter parameter that needs to be set... just wondering if I'm missing soemthing here... or better yet, if there is a better solution to my problem. ;-)
Thanks
Stephane

The difference between what you did and what Tom Kyte did is that you created your index on a clob column and Tom created his index on a blob column. What I don't know is why that makes a difference. I have demonstrated below with one blob column and one clob column, one index on the blob and one index on the clob, using the same code on both, with different results.

Stripping selective HTML tags?

Anyone have a "best practice" for stripping (or allowing) certain HTML
tags on an insert/update transaction? I'm using TinyMCE in my forms
which does this automatically, but if a user has javascript disabled
they can bypass the TinyMCE stripping and still submit text with all
sorts of dangerous HTML code.
Is there a preferred method anyone has?

Adobe Community Expert

Hi Alec,
I´d first suggest to define all your "disallowed stuff" rules in an external function, which basically uses preg_replace (or str_replace in simpler cases) plus some regular expressions to replace whatever patterns with '' -- in addition you could also integrate the strip_tags function right here, like this:
function block_content($what){
$what = strip_tags($what, '
$what = preg_replace('/<\/{0,1}font[^>]*>/i', '', $what);
$what = preg_replace('/^
<\/p>/i', '', $was);
$what = preg_replace('/^(?:
<\/p>)/im', '', $what);
$what = preg_replace('/style="BACKGROUND:.*"/i', '', $what);
return $what;
But I'd like to clean it when it's actually written to the database
rather than when I'm pulling it out
please try with establishing as Custom Trigger (type: BEFORE) and clean the contents by applying the "block_content" function to $tNG->getColumnValue("columnname"):
$tNG->setColumnValue("columname", block_content($tNG->getColumnValue("columnname")));
it´s a little experimental, as I haven´t done that before, but I think it should work ;-)
Even so, users can still insert dangerous attributes
well, good luck with trying to capture all possible dangerous stuff in this function :-)

HTML tag strip (email parsing use case)

Have you guys come across the requirements of parsing a HTML message, lets say an email, and convert into text?
The most common use case would be email parsing, remove all the HTML tags and use as string.
It has to remove the entire tags, with attributes, for example tables, with TRs and TDs with properties, must be removed. The BR converted into carriage return, etc?
Cheers,
Renato Fichmann

Derek,
In my situation, I'm triggering a process from an email. I need to extract information out of this email but it's not formatted as XHTML. I don't know there's an easy way to preprocess the email first before trying to disect it.
I'm working on an alternative solution but that relys on the people sending me the email to grant direct access to their systems.
Hopefully there'll be some funky string functions like this in upcoming releases??

HTML Tags not moved in PDF

Hello,
I would like to print a report as a PDF and use the BI Publisher.
This functions so far also quite well, only I have the problem
I pass a HTML formatted text from a field CLob
and with the PDF output the HTML tags are not moved.
In the PDF document the HTML tags stands instead of a formatted heading,
e.g.
<*h1> This is the heading <*/h1> (without stars)
What I must set / make with it I also a formatted one
Heading agrees?
Somebody an idea?

True - a PDF isn't going to support HTML encoding. HTML will just be seen as more text, and displayed that way.
You can strip out HTML tags fairly easily with a regular expression in your query SQL - this simply looks for text between < and > characters, and removes it. That should work for basic HTML formatting tags, but it isn't 100% (it won't handle <script> blocks correctly, for instance).
select regexp_replace(myHTML, '<[^>]*>', '') as myText
from myTable... Implementing a method to convert the HTML formatting into RTF formatting is also possible, but not a trivial task - you'd effectively have to replace each HTML tag with an RTF equivalent -- eg, replace <H1> with the RTF code to make a larger font, replace </H1> with RTF code to return the font to normal... etc...

Issue with HTML tags visible in Outlook emails

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with a website I'm working on.
On our site, we have a page that generates emails after certain events occur. These are sent to a forwarding address on our mail server, which is then sent to several users on our mail server. These users have their accounts set up in Outlook (one in 2007,
one in Mac 2011).
We're are having an issue where these emails are displaying in Outlook with all of the HTML tags in the email visible. One of the users spoke to Microsoft support, and they remoted in and went through their Outlook settings and were not able to find any issues
there.
This issue is not global exactly. When one of the users added their email to their iPhone, the email displayed correctly. We added a Gmail account and my work account (which I also access through Outlook) to the forwarding list, and it displayed correctly in
both. When we view these emails in the server's webmail client, the emails display fine. The issue seems to be with some discrepancy between Outlook and our email server.
I spoke to our webhost about the issue, and they swore up and down the issue had nothing to do with them, and that it had to be an Outlook issue. I've had several professional web developers analyze the code that creates these emails, and they found nothing
wrong with it. Something that several of my colleagues and our webhost suggested is that the issue could be with the email headers. This is the header for the email, as viewed through Outlook:
