How to ensure that all html-tags were closed? The problem arises because I want create some sort of excerpt for every article. For example someone writes an article like this:
Hi everyone, I'm just an article and I have few <strong>tags</strong> inside <em>of me</me>
If I cut this message just after "tags", I get an unclosed tag . How can I check with Django all user's input text before saving it to DB?

The strip_tags() function strips a string from HTML, XML, and PHP tags. Note: HTML comments are always stripped. This cannot be changed with the allow parameter. Note: This function is binary-safe.
In Django 1.7, there is a specific template filter called truncatechars_html : Similar to truncatechars, except that it is aware of HTML tags. Any tags that are opened in the string and not closed before the truncation point are closed immediately after the truncation.
stripHtml( html ) Changes the provided HTML string into a plain text string by converting <br> , <p> , and <div> to line breaks, stripping all other tags, and converting escaped characters into their display values.
To strip out all the HTML tags from a string there are lots of procedures in JavaScript. In order to strip out tags we can use replace() function and can also use . textContent property, . innerText property from HTML DOM.
In Django 1.7, there is a specific template filter called truncatechars_html:
Similar to truncatechars, except that it is aware of HTML tags. Any tags that are opened in the string and not closed before the truncation point are closed immediately after the truncation.
Also see truncatewords_html.
For Django<1.7, you can either use truncatewords_html, or make a custom filter based on the one implemented in 1.7 (source), or use this snippet (have not tested it). Also see relevant to the snippet blog post: Safe truncation of HTML.
