Is there an easy way to strip HTML from a QString in Qt?

Question

I have a QString with some HTML in it... is there an easy way to strip the HTML from it? I basically want just the actual text content.

<i>Test:</i><img src="blah.png" /><br> A test case 

Would become:

Test: A test case 

I'm curious to know if Qt has a string function or utility for this.

Answer 1

QString s = "<i>Test:</i><img src=\"blah.png\" /><br> A test case"; s.remove(QRegExp("<[^>]*>")); // s == "Test: A test case" 

Answer 2

If you don't care about performance that much then QTextDocument does a pretty good job of converting HTML to plain text.

QTextDocument doc; doc.setHtml( htmlString );  return doc.toPlainText(); 

I know this question is old, but I was looking for a quick and dirty way to handle incorrect HTML. The XML parser wasn't giving good results.
