Output excerpt without <p> wraptag

Is it possible to output the txp:excerpt without an html tag wrapping around it, without using notextile in the excerpt content?

Please say yes. :)

Yes

Ignore the meta tag stuff.

Wouldn’t that remove ALL tags and not just the wrapping <p> tags?

Yes, that strips everything. I assumed that’s what dressedinvalue wanted, if not, sorry.

Re: Output excerpt without <p> wraptag

I think if you just wanted to eliminate paragraph tags, you could do this:

<txp:php>
       global $thisarticle;
       assert_article();
       $my_excerpt = str_replace('<p>', '', $thisarticle['excerpt']);
       echo str_replace('</p>','',$my_excerpt);
</txp:php>

Is that right?

Bit more user friendly with help of rah_replace could be:

<txp:rah_replace from="<p>,</p>" to="">
	<txp:excerpt />
</txp:rah_replace>

Hey thanks everyone. Gocom’s suggestion of the rah_replace plugin works perfectly, and is super easy to use.

Many thanks!
