How to Remove HTML Tags from a Product Description

2026-06-20
Task

Product descriptions in CSV or XLSX contain HTML markup such as <p>, <br>, and <strong>. The final file needs plain text.

Short answer

Open the description column settings and add the Remove HTML tags transformation. No other rules are needed for this case.

How to Do It in Eofferix

  1. Open the settings of the description column.
    Opening the description column settings in the Eofferix table editor
    The animation shows the settings icon under the description column.
  2. In Transformations, add Remove HTML tags.
    Transformations block with Remove HTML tags action
    The Remove HTML tags action is selected. No other rules are needed for this case.
  3. Save the settings and export the cleaned description.

What matters for the result

  • Remove HTML tags removes markup, but entities such as &nbsp; should be handled with a separate substring replacement.
  • If <br> should become a space or line break, replace it before removing tags.
  • Test a description with p, strong, a, br: tags should disappear while text remains readable.
