Pretty Strings

Some strings have been abused by being run through many a CAT tool (one too many times). When you only want text and you don't want any inline tags, triple-escaped HTML entities or the like then this gem is for you.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

Ruby

gem install pretty_strings

Ruby on Rails
Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem 'pretty_strings'

text = "<CharStyle:body copy>The Supe<cTracking:-75>r<cTracking:>Track system is easy to set up and use, providing real-time <SoftReturn>insight and stats."
PrettyStrings::Cleaner.new(text).pretty

# => "The SuperTrack system is easy to set up and use, providing real-time insight and stats."
