BUG: strip_attr ignores CSS selectors, strip_tags ignores HTML tags

[Kalimbim]

Version (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS 15.1
• Browser: Safari
• Web Clipper version: 0.9.5
• Obsidian version: 1.7.6

Describe the bug

• strip_attr:("class") removes all attributes.
• strip_tags:("b") removes all attributes

Expected behavior

• strip_attr:("class") should remove either only class or all other attributes (eg id).
• strip_tags:("b") should remove either <b> … </b> or all the other tags.

I'm not sure about the intended behavior. Help is confusing. Does it strip only or everything but the provided CSS selectors/HTML tags? I'd prefer the former and a different syntax for the latter, but the other way around is also ok.

URLs where the bug occurs

I added the examples from Help to a test page: https://write.as/i52g2kl1kwnghey2.md

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Write template with note content:

{{selectorHtml:article}}

---

{{selectorHtml:article|strip_attr:("class")}}

---

{{selectorHtml:article|strip_tags:("b")}}

2. Go to: https://write.as/i52g2kl1kwnghey2.md

3. Open Clipper

4. See error

I expected to see either this result:

<article class="norm h-entry"><h2 id="title" class="p-name">Testing Webclipper</h2><div id="post-body" class="e-content"><div class="test" id="example">Content</div>

<p>Hello <b>world</b>!</p>
</div></article>

---

<article><h2 id="title">Testing Webclipper</h2><div id="post-body"><div id="example">Content</div>

<p>Hello <b>world</b>!</p>
</div></article>

---

<article class="norm h-entry"><h2 id="title" class="p-name">Testing Webclipper</h2><div id="post-body" class="e-content"><div class="test" id="example">Content</div>

<p>Hello world!</p>
</div></article>

Or that result:

<article class="norm h-entry"><h2 id="title" class="p-name">Testing Webclipper</h2><div id="post-body" class="e-content"><div class="test" id="example">Content</div>

<p>Hello <b>world</b>!</p>
</div></article>

---

<article class="norm h-entry"><h2 class="p-name">Testing Webclipper</h2><div class="e-content"><div class="test">Content</div>

<p>Hello <b>world</b>!</p>
</div></article>

---

Content

Hello <b>world</b>

Your template file

{
  "schemaVersion": "0.1.0",
  "name": "Testing Testing",
  "behavior": "create",
  "noteContentFormat": "{{selectorHtml:article}}\n\n---\n\n{{selectorHtml:article|strip_attr:(\"class\")}}\n\n---\n\n{{selectorHtml:article|strip_tags:(\"b\")}}",
  "properties": [],
  "triggers": [],
  "noteNameFormat": "{{title}}",
  "path": "Clippings"
}

Apparently both filters work without brackets. Test:

{{selectorHtml:article}}

---

{{selectorHtml:article|strip_attr:"class"}}

---

{{selectorHtml:article|strip_tags:"b"}}

works almost like expected:

• remove all attributes except class
• remove all tags except b

Open bugs:

• support notation with brackets for consistency with other filters and for compatibility with help pages
• fix error in help pages for strip_attr. Help seems to describe the opposite of the actual behavior
