I am working with the rich text editor component of primeng. This editor turns everything i type in into html. But sometimes i want to output these texts in plain text instead. Does angular 2 provide a way to easily remove the html tags from the text?

Thank you.

You can achieve this by JavaScript.

Try this!!

var plainText = content.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, '');

This will return you plain text.
