Did you tried Regex patterns to remove the tags from the body contained so that you can have the bunch of body contained.
Please try below regex pattern:-
?replace("</?[^>]*(>|$)|&(nbsp;?|#?[0-9A-Za-z]*$)", " ", "r")?replace("\\s+", " ", "r")
This will help you to remove all HTML tags from the body.

Hi, yes this works great, thanks.
If anyone else is interested, this is the component I made:
<#assign msg_id_check = page.context.message.uniqueId />
<#assign msg_id_check2 = msg_id_check?string>
<#assign messagebody = rest("messages/id/${msg_id_check2}/body").value />
<#assign messagebody2 = messagebody?replace("</?[^>]*(>|$)|&(nbsp;?|#?[0-9A-Za-z]*$)", " ", "r")?replace("\\s+", " ", "r") />
<#assign messagebody3 = messagebody2?trim?split(" ")?size />
<p>${messagebody3}</p>
I then applied some CSS to the <p> tag to pretty much hide the word count so only I can see it but you should be pretty set to go.
Thanks again,
Dom
- Why so complicated =), wouldn't that have been much easier with a tiny bit of jQuery?
Hi domladden,
Use utils.html.stripper context object to strip elements except content. Then you can count the words from body.
