Using HP ALM REST API, we get the Memo fields embedded with HTML tags such as <html>, <span>, <body>, etc. Is there a way to suppress the same using any options?
Using the earlier OTA API, we had the option to use tdconnection.IgnoreHtmlFormat=True, which used to suppress these tags, but using REST API, I am unable to find an equivalent one. Any suggestions or should I build a parser myself after reading the output?
I personally don't know of a switch like that.
Alternatively you might try this: How to Parse Only Text from HTML
On paper this seems quite nice.
This requires an extra step though. After getting the request you'ld have to run it through the proposed library to get the get the flat text. Shouldn't be more than a line of code I think.
Downside is there might be some stuff going south because you dump any formatting stored as HTML. Usually that isn't much though. Depends of the project and the people off course.
