Rich Text Stripping & Sanitization Guide
When you copy content from Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages, or external websites, your clipboard carries hidden bloated inline CSS styles, proprietary XML tags (
<o:p>, <font>, <span style="...">), and fixed pixel font sizes. When pasted into WordPress Gutenberg, Elementor, email marketing tools, or spreadsheets, these hidden tags override your site theme's typography and color scheme, causing visual layout breaking and responsive rendering bugs on mobile devices.
Rather than applying naive regular expressions that can corrupt text hierarchies, this utility leverages an in-browser virtual
DOMParser tree sandbox. It recursively traverses semantic HTML nodes, converts tabular cells into clean tab-delimited columns, translates nested unordered/ordered lists into readable text bullets, decodes escaped character entities (like " and &), and standardizes line breaks before stripping redundant tags.
100% Client-Side Privacy: All text conversions, HTML stripping, file reading, and clipboard operations occur solely inside your local web browser using native JavaScript (ES6+). Zero data, confidential emails, legal contracts, or customer documents are ever transmitted to RiazHub or any third-party external server.
