Zotfile feature suggestion: Skip HTML tags

Bruce Rusk
This is a small quality of life suggestion for Zotfile: I have a lot of records with some HTML markup in the Title field (https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/rich_text_bibliography). Zotfile includes that markup as part of the filenames it creates (after stripping out special characters). It would be great to have an option to drop any markup from filenames.

    Yes, this function is currently missing in ZotFile. I think it's implemented now in Zotero's own renaming function, but if you need to use ZotFile, you can get something that should work in most cases with ZotFile's user-defined wildcards:

    {"1": {"field": "title", "operations":[{"function": "replace", "regex": "<(\\u0022[^\\u0022]*\\u0022|'[^']*'|[^'\\u0022>])*>", "replacement":""},{"function": "truncateTitle"}]}}
