Strip function? about laravel-markdown HOT 10 CLOSED

The underlying library does not plan to support this feature, as Markdown is already a "plain-text" format designed to be perfectly readable without conversion to HTML.

I'd recommend either the strip_tags() approach, or if you really want to, create your own custom renderers to modify how the intermediate AST is converted.

Just put the output through php's strip_tags function.

That's still a pretty strange thing for you to be doing though? Why go through the expensive parsing and conversion process only to remove it all?

Doesn't work in circumstances where you're just wanting to remove Markdown formatting but not others (BBcode, HTML, etc). :/

I don't really see why you'd want to do that. Sounds like you need to write your own program from scratch to really do the job properly.

I understand that @BenWoodford is willing to be able to display parsed markdown and cleartext as well, by using the same markdown(ed) source. This could be useful in some circumstances, but stripping resulting html sounds like enough workaround.

For instance in Laravel Nova there is Markdown field, but like on index page - it is better to show text as-is without markdown. It would be nice to have this feature and its just a natural / normal thing to have.

Agree on @colinodell, sounds like the approach to go about it in compliance with the existing functionality.
