Is an html strip-tags method a worth stdlib addition? about crystal HOT 7 CLOSED

This sounds a lot like https://github.com/straight-shoota/sanitize

I published this as a shard for independent development and because of its complexity. I could see this shard (or a similar implementation) becoming a part of stdlib if we consider the use case to be very common. It's certainly a very important feature when you're dealing with untrusted HTML content.
An important aspect to such a security component is auditing. It would be devastating if a sanitization library becomes a liability (like the Python XSS example). So far, I'm not aware that my shard has received any relevant peer review.

Absolutely excellent, and I wish I'd been able to come across that in my searches.

Yeah, I guess there are quite a lot different terms for this kind of thing. Probably because you can view and resolve the problem from different angles. So that's not ideal for search.

What did you look for and where? Maybe we can improve discoverability a bit.

I was focused on the keyword "striptags". I looked in the HTML parsing section of awesome-crystal, and I search github for lang:Crystal striptags -- which is where I came across the inner-text pattern in crinja I referenced.

Thanks. lang:Crystal striptags works now 😏

https://shardbox.org/categories/HTML_XML_Parsing would've brought you there as well.

I've forgotten about or never heard of shardbox.org, but that makes me realize that I would have found it with https://shards.info/search?query=html too.

this example also similar to strip tags: https://github.com/kostya/lexbor/blob/master/examples/texts.cr
