Hi All!

I am struggling with data manipulation in logstash version 5.1, where some of the data come to me from open text fields with HTML options. Most of the time it comes with only one marker

`> <p> XYZ </p>`

and I am dealing with it using Grok.

My question is if there is a built-in filter for HTML markup or do i have to develop my own using regular expressions? If not, do you plan to implement it in future updates?
