Tumblr: PostSummary Outputs HTML Codes

When I am trying to use these lines:

{block:PostSummary}
  {PostSummary}
{/block:PostSummary}

I got HTML codes, not an excerpted pure text!

It's a big problem on Title and Meta:Description elements.

What should I do?

Thank you!!

Solution

  • Have a a look at http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_themes#variable-transformations

    By prefixing variables with special transformation keywords, Tumblr will output variables in specialized formats — useful when passing data to Javascript, etc.

    […] Plaintext
    Prefix any theme variable with Plaintext to output the string with HTML-tags stripped and appropriate characters converted to HTML-entities so they’re safe to include in HTML attributes, etc..

    So it'd probably look like:

    {block:PostSummary}
  {PlaintextPostSummary}
{/block:PostSummary}
