twig striptags and html special chars

Question

I am using twig to render a view and I am using the striptags filter to remove html tags. However, html special chars are now rendered as text as the whole element is surrou

Answer 1

If it could help someone else, here is my solution

{{ organization.content|striptags|convert_encoding('UTF-8', 'HTML-ENTITIES') }}

You can also add a trim filter to remove spaces before and after. And then, you truncate or slice your organization.content

EDIT November 2017

If you want to keep the "\n" break lines combined with a truncate, you can do

{{ organization.content|striptags|truncate(140, true, '...')|raw|nl2br }}
