I was thinking of using the striphtml() function but that does not work. 
 Example: &amp;quot;This message contains &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;HTML content&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;quot;</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Can a News Feed post contain HTML in the message?</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/50045?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 Nov 2017 13:55:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:6d98029e-56b5-49e2-8170-3788560fc534</guid><dc:creator>thomasf</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, a News Feed post cannot contain HTML in the message.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Can a News Feed post contain HTML in the message?</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/50011?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Nov 2017 13:46:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:e6ddda52-24b1-4929-851c-adde44acc075</guid><dc:creator>aloks0189</dc:creator><description>Hi &lt;a href="/members/mornel0001"&gt;Morné Lombard&lt;/a&gt;  may i know, is there any specific reason behind using using HTML in message while posting it through News Feed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because i feel when you post something as News Feed, the post content is treated as normal Text / String hence it doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether you send the message as HTML or a as a normal text.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So i recommend you, please do not opt for this option while you are posting a content through News Feed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hope this will help you.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Can a News Feed post contain HTML in the message?</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/50006?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Nov 2017 01:45:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:464deeb7-03ed-4130-8c78-dee8d9a69ed5</guid><dc:creator>Jamal Case</dc:creator><description>&lt;a href="/members/mornel0001"&gt;Morné Lombard&lt;/a&gt;  This is not an OOTB feature within Appian.
