Welcome to the problem of 'there is no structured metadata for files' :)
This is a garbage in, garbage out problem and probably when you start filtering you will break attribution requirements (more than the community will appreciate).
I figured. :-(
So, given that we can't do anything meaningful with the HTML in a native app, that means we only have three options:
- Display the raw HTML directly to the user - Try to parse the HTML for interesting information and update the relevant view's properties using native code - Strip any and all HTML tags that are given to us in the JSON
The first two aren't sounding workable at all to me; the first is unworkable from a product standpoint, and the second is an absolutely gigantic can of worms. So I guess we'll be stripping the HTML until such time that this is fixed. :-)
Thanks, Dan
