remove html element from the template in underscore.js

Question

My JSON response is something like this:

{
          "description": "discription about the feaure will come here.  <a href=\"http://example.com\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more</a>",
          "largeIconURL": "some_path/ico_someicon.gif",
          "displayName": "feature one"
        },
        {
          "description": "discription about the feaure will come here.",
          "largeIconURL": "some_path/ico_someicon.gif",
          "displayName": "feature two"
        },
        {
          "description": "discription about the feaure will come here. ",
          "largeIconURL": "some_path/ico_someicon.gif",
          "displayName": "feature three"
        },

My template is something like this

<%
        _.each(items,function(item, key, list){
      %>
      <li>
        <div class="oneSpec">

          <div class="description">
            <h4><%= item.displayName %></h4>
            <p><%= item.description %></p>
          </div>
        </div>
      </li>

      <%
        });
      %>

How can i remove the anchor tag from description node before painting it to the DOM

To remove description definitely not write it!

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "from description", but you can conditionally include something by using <% if (condition) {%>. I'm just guessing what you mean. If this is not it, you have to be more clear...

Update:

Remove the anchor like so (Regex in Javascript to remove links):

<%=item.description.replace(/<a\b[^>]*>(.*?)<\/a>/i,"")) %>

Check out this answer to remove links from a string: stackoverflow.com/questions/960156/… You can do all of this in the template or clean the json before passing it into the template.
