---+ .CONVERT HTML TO TEXT _This subroutine converts a HTML field to plain APPX text. Release 5.5. & higher._ <br />%TOC% ---++ Usage: <pre> PASS <text> FIELD SHARE? Y PASS <html> FIELD SHARE? N GOSUB --- .CONVERT HTML TO TEXT * check for errors IF --- .CONVERT HTML TO TEXT NE </pre> ---++ Description: This subroutine converts a field containing HTML tags and encodings into plain APPX text. All parameters are required, if any are missing the subroutine will CANCEL. <text> returns the converted HTML (Required). This must be PASSed with Share "Y" to return the value. <HTML> is the HTML data you want converted (Required). This routine will first convert any <br /> tags to chr(182), strip all remaining HTML tags, then convert any HTML entites into their ISO-8859-15 single byte equivalents, ie, ¶ becomes the paragraph symbol (chr(182)), etc. Entities that can't be converted will be changed to a space. If <text> is too small to contain the converted text, --- .CONVERT HTML TO TEXT will contain 'Data was truncated'.
