Formatting the content

The content field is formatted as HTML, since we insert line breaks and similar markup. It must therefore be interpreted as HTML when you place it on a page, e.g. by assigning content to the innerHTML of your HTML nodes.

In addition, we embed metadata for the people and companies that appear in the text, so you can link to them if you want. You will therefore come across text such as:

... Jonas har haft den længste relation til {Annelise Jensen|CVR-3-4000654321}, som ..

Each {name|lassoId} token can be replaced with either a plain name or a link. The following JavaScript snippet can be used as inspiration; it takes a text and replaces the tokens with links or plain names, depending on your needs:

function (text, createLinks) {
    var links = text.match(/{([^}]*)}/g)
    if (links) {
        links.forEach(function (link) {
            var content = link.match(/\{([^}]+)\}/)[1].split('|')
            if (content.length === 2) {
                if (createLinks) text = text.replace(link, '<a href="article/' + content[1] + '">' + content[0] + '</a>')
                else text = text.replace(link, content[0])
            }
        })
    }
    return text
}
