Doesn't strip out HTML tags

[frankharrison-wj]

I may be misunderstanding how this works, but I can't get Hacksaw to strip out HTML. The docs suggest that it'll remove everything except P tags, but the following:

{{ '<p>A <strong>strong</strong> paragraph with <a href="#">a link</a></p>' | hacksaw(limit='1') }}

leaves the strong and a tags untouched. Am I missing something obvious? I'm on Craft 2.6.2987, Hacksaw 2.0.1.

By default, Hacksaw is configured to hack by p. When hacking by p, <p> tags remain. If you want them removed, I would hack by words/w or characters/c.

As noted in read me:

Note: <p>'s are automatically allowed when hacking by paragraph.

Actually I'm happy for p tags to remain – it's the strong and link ones that I assumed would get stripped out, but don't. I can of course work around with twig's strip_tags filter, but thought I'd post here in case it's a bug...

Ah, I misunderstood.

Admittedly, it's been a while since I've looked at the code, but after review, I can confirm this is by design. The reason I initially added the hack by p was for a blog index view. My thought was that you'd still want all other tags in there. I will update the read me to indicate this is the case.

I will also go in and add a remove param for when you want to get rid of a specific element when hacking by p.
