Is it possible to use velocity to strip HTML tags? I'm trying to remove HTML tags from $Product.Description on 'Show Product 1.htm' and I've tried a number of different ways and it doesn't seem to be working.

Neither of these work: Any other suggestions?

Other suggestions:
You might have to move some of the code from a scriplet into a conlib where you can use Able's StringHelper.StripHtml. Or maybe a class file, like in the W2MSEOHelper.cs.

I think Judy's approach is more appropriate. NVelocity should be only used for data display formatting. If you use it frequently for complex programming purpose it can slow down the pages.
