# Strip HTML from text results

Saved values from Collibra also includes HTML formatting tags. Although not visible to users, the user interface uses the tags to format data. These tags are also included when you query data and may look like garbage in Excel reports.

The example below shows how to strip out the HTML formatting tags, leaving only the values.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JSON" %}

```json
{
 "ViewConfig": {
   "Resources": {
    "Community": {
      "Id": { "name": "communityId" },
       "Name": { "name": "communityName" },
       "Description": { "name": "communityDescription", "stripHtml": true }
     }
   }
  }
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="YAML" %}

```yaml
---
ViewConfig:
  Resources:
    Community:
      Id:
        name: "communityId"
      Name:
        name: "communityName"
      Description:
        name: "communityDescription"
        stripHtml: true
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Use `stripHtml` on any text field. When true, the returned value is stripped from the HTML tags.
{% endhint %}
