Rich text not coming through, any alternative for this?

I am creating a widget which pulls through all the recent activity for the commnity via recent threads API. This is working fine for the plain text but I just checked it with putting in some images and smileys in the replies, but it did not show up.

 

The response body in the xml is, only orange text below came in the response, but where the img tag starts, it didn't show up in the page where I am pulling it. is there any way I can skip the images via ftl? or any other alternatives? I want if there is any image, it should skip it and print the text only. Is is doable in FTL?

 

<body type="string">

      This issue is that i have put a limit of 100 characters, and it strips off the first few characters img tag, and it appears as a broken image. I think I need to use regex to handle this so I can skip a the tags and skip to the next text.

        Is it possible to display only text without using regex? Is there a way the returned result is not in HTML format and just displays the plain text so I don't have to use the regex.
