Remove or Strip HTML tags during ingestion

Affects both ingestion and document conversion / segmentation.

 

Benefits usage of the ingested content making it consumable in a more basic format.   Original customer use case was to not only remove / strip HTML but also segment based on HTML header level.  So this content:

======

<h2>

My content for first document.

<p>

Is this and I really am not sure if or how to handle <b>stylistic markup</b>

</p>

</h2>

<h2>

And here is my second document.

</h2>

=======

Ingested content resulting in two JSON documents.   

 

Follow up investigation on this idea:

  • how to handle imbedded stylistic markup
  • if the documents are split, should there be some relationship kept between them and the source

    When connecting to Watson Assistant you can't customize the configruation meaning you can't remove the html tags. Its a major pain.

    Hi Randy, doesn't this already exist?  We give options to remove specific tags and also create a pure text field.
