replace_strip_tags.groovy

Feature Realization

This script removes HTML-like tags (e.g., <b>, </b>, <div/>) from either the currently selected text in the editor or the entire translation of the active segment.

Key APIs

• editor.selectedText: Checks if any text is currently selected in the editor.

• editor.getCurrentTranslation(): Retrieves the full translation text of the active segment.

• editor.insertText(target): Inserts the cleaned text back into the selection.

• editor.replaceEditText(target): Replaces the entire segment translation with the cleaned text.

Important Constraints or Limitations

• Regex Simplicity: It uses a simple regular expression <\/?[a-z]+[0-9]* ?\/?> to identify tags. This may not correctly identify all valid HTML/XML tags, especially those with complex attributes.

• Scope: Operates only on the currently active segment or selection.
