Answer 1

To remove tags, I would recommend using Mozilla's bleach library.

In order to remove tags only in the front-end, not the data itself, you can easily create a custom template filter and clean the tags inside it.

Another cool idea would be to have list of enabled HTML tags that can be used (like making text bold with <b>...</b>) and then render the input as a valid html:

{{ options|remove_tags|safe }}

Example for a custom template filter:

@register.filter
def remove_tags(value):
    return bleach.clean(value, tags=["b", "i"])
