      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.

        Hi,

         

        you can either create and call an endpoint to do the filtering for you using one of the stripping tools provided in the utils context object , or call the rest API directly and implement the HTML stripping logic in your application.

         

        Hope this helps,
