Can I strip specific HTML tags from a piece of content?
I’d like to display `post.excerpt` but without any images (`img` tags).

Should be able to do that with the `strip_html` filter.
```auto
{{ post.excerpt | strip_html }}
```

That won’t work in my case. I have something like this:
```auto
…
…
```
And I’d like it to look like this:
```auto
…
…
```
If I strip the HTML it will combine the two paragraphs.

You’ll likely need a plugin to do this then. There’s the [`remove` filter](https://help.shopify.com/themes/liquid/filters/string-filters#remove) but that’s not going to get you very far.

Indeed. That won’t do at all 🙂

You can use
`{{ post.excerpt | remove: '![]()
' | remove: '
' }}`
for example.
You can take a closer look at this page for docs:

Oh you don’t really need to strip line breaks, sorry. Here’s your code:
`{{ post.excerpt | remove: '![]()
' }}`

I haven’t tried this out 😊, but my understanding is that the code you suggest will literally remove any text that reads `. I don’t have any such text. I have actual image tags, which include `src="…"` and so on.

If your original input is in markdown, you can use the markdownify filter to make html, strip all html, then run the markdownify filter so only the paragraphs remain:
`{{ post.excerpt | markdownify | strip_html | markdownify }}`
