Liquid HTML Filters
HTML Filters
Liquid HTML filters format Shopify HTML with strip_html.
Understanding Liquid HTML Filters
Liquid HTML filters are an essential part of formatting and managing HTML content in Shopify themes. They allow developers to manipulate HTML output by removing unwanted tags or parts of the content. One of the most commonly used HTML filters is strip_html, which helps clean up the content by removing all HTML tags and leaving only the text.
The strip_html Filter
The strip_html filter is used to remove HTML tags from a string. This is particularly useful when you need to display content without any formatting, such as in search results or when generating text previews. This filter will strip all HTML tags, leaving only plain text.
Using strip_html in Shopify
Let's say you have a product description stored in a variable called product.description. You can use the strip_html filter to display this description without any HTML tags.
Combining HTML Filters
Liquid allows you to chain multiple filters together to refine the output further. For example, you can use strip_html in combination with other filters like truncate to strip HTML and then shorten the text.
When to Use strip_html
The strip_html filter is especially useful when you want to ensure that your content is displayed without any markup, which can be crucial for snippets, SEO meta descriptions, or any text-based processing where HTML tags would be disruptive.
