by -DePiep (talk) 18:15, 3 April 2020 (UTC) Input string has nested span tags. Current Module:Plain text does not handle these as expected. See Template:Plain text/testcases: output is blank.
In Module:Plain text/sandbox I have simply repeated the stripping line :gsub('<span.->(.-)</span>', '%1'). That works as expected & intended.
Case background: {{Val}} formats compound numbers, and also adds tags like:
{{Val|123.45|7}}→ 123.45±7<span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value="7002123450000000000♠"></span>123.45<span style="margin-left:0.3em;margin-right:0.15em;">±</span>7</span>
Nesting the module or template call in-page does not solve it.
I propose to consider implementation of this sandbox trial.
