Text from HTML field
+
+
+

+
This module provides some technical features that allow to extract text from
+any chunk of HTML, without HTML tags or attributes. You can chose either:
+
+- To truncate the result by amount of words or characters.
+- To append an ellipsis (or any character(s)) at the end of the result.
+
+
It can be used to easily generate excerpts.

This module just adds a technical utility, but nothing for the end user.
+
If you are a developer and need this utility for your module, see these
+examples and read the docs inside the code.
+
Python example:
+
+def some_method(self):
+ # Get truncated text from an HTML field. It will 40 words and 100
+ # characters at most, and will have "..." appended at the end if it
+ # gets truncated.
+ truncated_text = self.env["ir.fields.converter"].text_from_html(
+ self.html_field, 40, 100, "...")
+
+
QWeb example:
+
+<t t-esc="env['ir.fields.converter'].text_from_html(doc.html_field)"/>
+
+

+
+
+
+
+- An option could be added to try to respect the basic HTML tags inside the
+excerpt (<b>, <i>, <p>, etc.).
