Strip HTML and WORD formatting

[Nick1973]

Can't speak for other things, but the bolded information wasn't known until this final post.

I think I probably mentioned it, but probably wasn't clear. That is my fault so sorry if it wasn't clear.

Another thing is that if the source data truly remains unfixed, then those that have disabled or can't run javascript will be subject to the "Word" data regardless, also in this era of pay by data, all of that extra data will be fed to the visitor only to be reduced locally, so becomes unnecessary information.

Appreciate that, however we are talking about people who view websites in standard browsers and who wouldn't have a clue how to turn off javascript. This is a shop selling tradesmens products and they wouldn't know what javascript is so I don't see it as a problem. Also Javascript is used in Zen Cart to run other elements in the Zen Cart scripts. So if the data is a problem with word formatting, then it is probably also a problem elsewhere too.

It would almost be better to put such a script on the admin side (for future use) that would essentially prevent adding all of that, or to in some way enable a feature of ckeditor to not allow such content to be added (again more of a future proofing than a correct the present situation.)

I agree, some sort of button to clean up the data in one sweep would be very useful.

Otherwise, and haven't actually looked at the detail of the located script, but if equivalent php could be identified, EP4 (discussed briefly in a thread by the OP) could be piggy backed upon to strip the errant information while exporting the data and then the resulting file reuploaded. (There are notifiers in the export that could support such data modification.)

Not entirely sure what you mean, but I think probably your talking about a cleaner exported version of the data that could be imported back into the DB.
