Tool to unformat the text in a canvas richtext field?

[gcjm]

The text of my canvas richtext editor fields is formated (by html).
I need this text additionally unformated (as flat text).
Is there a function?
Thanks Georg

By the way:
The "remove formatting" button of the canvas richtext editor doesn't work in deskview and is missing in webview.

Hi Georg,

Try this function:

Barry, thank you, yes, this is the right function to get plain text out of my canvas richtext fields.
If I fill in this plain text into the canvas fields again so I have "unformated text". Thank you again!

My next problem in this context:

It seems to me the ENCODE(flattext) doesn't work right with other than latin letters.

An example:
In latin letters (german text)
"Hier sind deutsche Umlaute ä,ö, ü" should generate "Hier sind deutsche Umlauten ä%2Cö%2C ü"
You can try it with translate.google.com

But now take cyrillic letters (ukrainian language)
"В ім'я Отця, і Сина, і Святого Духа." google translate generates ok: "В ім'я Отця%2C і Сина%2C і Святого Духа."
(only the komma is encoded)

But the ENCODE() generates:
В ім'я Отця%2C і Сина%2 C і Свято го Духа. Амінь

This is wrong for me.

Is there another function than ENCODE to generate a text like google?

Thanks in advance!
Georg

Try

https://www.lianja.com/doc/index.php/HTML_TOPLAINTEXT()

The text contains all non HTML tags.

That should return the uff-8 characters if thats what you have input.

How have you input those cyrillic characters? they should be uff-8.

Barry: >>How have you input those cyrillic characters? they should be uff-8. <<

By keyboard, switched to Russian, Ukrainian, Greek...
But some texts I copied and now I see these were not all UTF8 web pages but ISO...

If I do with the a richtext meno field in the work space of the App Builder

? memofield

then it shows the html source text. And this looks like UTF8 !!!
Is there a function to show the html source of these memo fields?

Thanks Georg
