Use Scrub to remove Tag-Attributes, Classes, Styles or whatever you need

RazorBlade IScrub.All(...), IScrub.Only(), IScrub.Except()

These demos show how to strip all html from a string. You often need this in combination with crop or ellipsis to create teasers.

Simple example

Original

<h1>Introduction</h1><p>Welcome to this blog post</p><hr><p>beginning with xyz we'll tell you more</p>
which if cropped at 50 would be really messy
<h1>Introduction</h1><p>Welcome to this blog post<

Get IScrub service

 

@{
  var scrubSvc = GetService<IScrub>();
}

After IScrub.All

Introduction Welcome to this blog post beginning with xyz we'll tell you more 

<code>@scrubSvc.All(val1)</code>

Usually you will then combine with crop or ellipsis

Introduction Welcome to this blog post beginning… 

<code>@Html.Raw(Text.Ellipsis(scrubSvc.All(val1), cropLen))</code>

IScrub.Only()

Only scrub specified tags using IScrub.Only(source, tag)

Scrub one tag: <h2><span>The cool title</span></h2>
Scrub multiple tags: <span>The cool title</span>
 

@{
  var exampleTagsOnly = "<div><h2><span>The cool title</span></h2></div>"; 
}
<div><strong>Scrub one tag: </strong><code>@scrubSvc.Only(exampleTagsOnly, "div")</code></div>
<div><strong>Scrub multiple tags: </strong><code>@scrubSvc.Only(exampleTagsOnly, new string[] { "div", "h2" })</code></div>

IScrub.Except()

Scrub except the specified tags using IScrub.Except(source, tag)

Scrub tags except one tag: <h2>The cool title</h2>
Scrub tags except multiple tags: <div><span>The cool title</span></div>
 

@{
  var exampleTagsExcept = "<div><h2><span>The cool title</span></h2></div>"; 
}
<div><strong>Scrub tags except one tag: </strong><code>@scrubSvc.Except(exampleTagsExcept, "h2")</code></div>
<div><strong>Scrub tags except multiple tags: </strong><code>@scrubSvc.Except(exampleTagsExcept, new string[] { "div", "span" })</code></div>
