A lightweight helper class for Acumatica customizations and extensions that need to process, sanitize, or extract readable text from HTML content.

📄 Overview

HtmlUtilities provides static helper methods for converting HTML strings to plain text, counting words, and truncating text safely.
It leverages the HtmlAgilityPack library to parse and traverse HTML nodes efficiently, ensuring that only meaningful content is preserved.

This utility is particularly useful for Acumatica developers dealing with HTML-based user inputs, API responses, or custom field rendering.
