<p>If you're trying to remove HTML tags from the output completely, you can use Twig's <code>striptags</code> filter: <a href="https://twig.symfony.com/doc/2.x/filters/striptags.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://twig.symfony.com/doc/2.x/filters/striptags.html</a>.</p>

Thanks. It working now. The reason why I want to remove the HTML tags is that it break my code structure when there is a bold <strong> tag. Not sure what is the reason, so I decided to just output plain text. The result become like this <br... <="" div="">, do you know what is the reason?

<p>Is there a way to display plain text only without any line break or format style. I have an input field using the redactor. I want the result to shows plain text without any formatting for this particular page. How can I modify it?</p>

<pre><code>{% set desc = desc|slice(0,150) %}
{% set _desc = desc|split(' ') %}
{% set __desc = _desc|slice(0,-1) %}
{% set desc = __desc|join(' ') %}
{{desc|raw}}
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks.</p>

If you're trying to remove HTML tags from the output completely, you can use Twig's `striptags` filter: <https://twig.symfony.com/doc/2.x/filters/striptags.html>.

If you want to retain the tags but show the output without any styling, you're going to have to handle that with your CSS by negating any of the existing styling you don't want.
