Question

html tags in @mention email notification

Forum|alt.badge.img+4

I'm trying to use the new feature that allows @ mentions in rich text fields, and have set up a custom notification to email users when they've been mentioned. 

I'm trying to get the contents of the rich text field containing the mention to display in the email notification. I selected the field using the 'add elements' dropdown in the 'compose email' section. How do I set up the template so that the contents of the field will be displayed in the body of the email without all the html tags?

    You may have figured this out already, but if not here is the code for this: 

    var text Note = ToText([FIELD NAME HERE]);
    //specific tags - can replace them all in note instead of one at a time
    var text AST= SearchAndReplace($NOTE,"<br />"," ");
    var text BST= SearchAndReplace($AST,"<p>","");
    var text CST= SearchAndReplace($BST,"</p>","");
    var text DST= SearchAndReplace($CST,"<strong>","");
    var text EST= SearchAndReplace($DST,"</strong>","");
    var text FST= SearchAndReplace($EST,"<ol>","");
    var text GST= SearchAndReplace($FST,"</ol>","");
    var text HST= SearchAndReplace($GST,"<li>","");
    var text IST= SearchAndReplace($HST,"</li>","");
    var text JST= SearchAndReplace($IST,"</span>","");
    var text KST= SearchAndReplace($JST,"&nbsp;"," ");
    var text LST= SearchAndReplace($KST,"&#8203;","");
    var text MST = SearchAndReplace($LST,"&amp;","&"); 
    var text NST= SearchAndReplace($MST,"</a>","");

    var text NoteNew = $MST;

    //Glossary
    //SPT = Start Position Tag
    //EPT = Eng Position Tag

    // 1st Tag (A)
    var number ASPT = (Length(Left($NoteNew,"<")))+1;
    var number AEPT = Length(Left($NoteNew,">"))+1;
    var number ALength = $AEPT-$ASPT+1;
    var text ATag = Mid($NoteNew, $ASPT, $Alength);
    var text ANote = SearchAndReplace($NoteNEw,$ATag,"");
    //2nd Tag (B)
    var number BSPT = (Length(Left($ANote,"<")))+1;
    var number BEPT = Length(Left($ANote,">"))+1;
    var number BLength = $BEPT-$BSPT+1;
    var text BTag = Mid($ANOTE, $BSPT, $Blength);
    var text BNote = SearchAndReplace($ANote,$BTag,"");
    //3nd Tag (C)
    var number CSPT = (Length(Left($BNote,"<")))+1;
    var number CEPT = Length(Left($BNote,">"))+1;
    var number CLength = $CEPT-$CSPT+1;
    var text CTag = Mid($BNOTE, $CSPT, $Clength);
    var text CNote = SearchAndReplace($BNote,$CTag,"");
    //Add more as needed
    $CNote
