Hi is it possible to keep H3, br and Color tags after converting html to Text?
Once its converted I use the following expression to display the converted text:
replace(body('Html_to_text'), decodeuricomponent('%0A'), '')
Is this possible?
Hey @knishal
Maybe just use replace to remove everything, other than the above mentioned tags. And dont use html to text action.
Possible to provide an example?
@knishal
Can you give an example of your data, like if some name is there just write abc instead. Then I will give you the expression for it.
"<p><div class=\"ExternalClass4826EE5083FE4CE5AAC7B60172F68133\"><p>​This is a long text field Test<br></p></div></p>"
Above is an example of the Raw Input
This is more complex example: also there will be emails and links.
<p><div class=\"ExternalClassF3C98F93FC8A4A7D943D998FFA9D2819\"><p>Breakfast  <br></p><div> Text </div><div><br></div><div>More text​<br></div><p><br></p></div></p>"
Any help? @Sundeep_Malik

@Expiscornovus Any help will be greatly appreciated
Hi @knishal,
The issue is that this RTE type of field adds classes to divs and other kind of tags which the SharePoint page does not like. You could use a replace function in a loop to clean-up the mark-up.
In this thread I have shared an approach for that:

The first idea that comes to mind is to break the tags via find and replace prior to running it through the HTML to text. Try replacing '<h3' with '~H3~' you might have to do it on the closing tag as well. I don't know for certain what the HTML to text does, but my guess is it's a collection of regex find and replace statements that removes all the HTML tags.
If you have SQL you could probably find a similar collect of regex that you could tweak to make your own HTML to text, or office type scripts is another possible idea
