From API , we have some text with HTML tags. Actually, it is privacy policy content. So is it possible to show privacy policy content without HTML tags? But we want the Right style. Like font size and weight. Is it possible to convert HTML tags to relevant format for this? Please suggest me the best way.

For example 

<ol>\r\n\t<li>We use Personal Data to allow you to participate in the features on the Site, to process your registration, and to provide you with other requested content related to our content and other offerings. Click here to learn more&nbsp;</li></ol>

Brightscript Debugger> html = "<tag>hi there<another tag/><tag2> <TAG3>MORE</tag3>"

Brightscript Debugger> ? html
<tag>hi there<another tag/><tag2> <TAG3>MORE</tag3>

Brightscript Debugger> r = CreateObject("roRegex", "<.*?>", "") : ? r.ReplaceAll(html, "")
hi there MORE

Brightscript Debugger> html = "\r\n\tHELLO \r\r\rHOW ARE YOU?"

Brightscript Debugger> ? html
\r\n\tHELLO \r\r\rHOW ARE YOU?

Brightscript Debugger> r = CreateObject("roRegex", "(\\r|\\t|\\v|\\n)", "") : ? r.ReplaceAll(html, "")
HELLO HOW ARE YOU?

' strip html tags

' strip carriage return, tab, vertical tab, newline
Brightscript Debugger> r = CreateObject("roRegex", "(\\r|\\t|\\v|\\n)", "") : html = r.ReplaceAll(html, "")

Brightscript Debugger> ?html

[NB_]

don't use roRegEx when simple .replace() would do; the latter is faster.
roXmlElement may be of help, if the html in question is well-formed from the point of view of XML.

[speechles]

replace doesn't do glob or grouping does it?

So would still need regex to strip the html tags and possibly the grouped \r \n \t \v. You are right though, the last part where it strips off the &nbsp; could've been replace.

[NB_]

i doubt actual string would have backspace literals, that's neither here (html) nor there (c source) encoding. In Roku-speak, \r\n\t would have been chr(13)+chr(10)+chr(8)

[speechles]

chr(8) is backspace. chr(9) = \t = horizontal tab and chr(11) = \v = vertical tab. You silly rabbit.

Brightscript Debugger> ? "no"+chr(8)+chr(8)+"yes"
yes
