Hi Joe,

In my previous post you suggested using the SecurtyHelper.RemoveMarkup to strip any html formatting from a string. This worked great until the returned string contained a malformed tag. I saw the remove markup method is using a regular expression for stripping the html, so I decided I'd try and find a regex that handled malformed tags (I thought this would be a 5 min job lol), however, after reading many many posts on the topic it seems regex's aren't very good at this job.

A few of the posts started pointing to the HtmlAgilityPack so I decided to grab a copy and try it out... I wrote this quick method using it and it has solved all my problems:

public static string RemoveAllMarkup(string text)
{
HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.LoadHtml(text);
string plainText = doc.DocumentNode.InnerText;
return plainText;
}

It properly parses the html string unlike the regex and you end up with a nicely stripped string. Just thought i'd point it out as the current removeMarkup could possible be a security risk.

Thanks,

Reiss <<ps my smilies have gone again lol don't seem to be working
