Strip tags from formatted text before trimming

Split off from #221257: text_summary() should output valid HTML and Unicode text →

Fixed the test case failure issue

Appears to be missing test cases and upgrade path.

Just ran into this while using metatag + glossify.

Glossify provides filters, which automaticall create tooltips / links for words, for which a node or a taxonomy term exists. These links use the linked node body, as the tooltip, which results in a VERY long "title" HTML Tag:

Now, if I would like to use the token [node:summary] inside a metatag or anywhere else, the summary won't be displayed correctly as you can see here:

Now this stems from the same issue, this issue is about. But the current MR doesn't solve it deeply enough. The real root cause of this is the

text_summary()

method from the core "text" module.

In my opinion we should strip the tags there. The method doc says the following:

Generates a trimmed, formatted version of a text field value

I don't think stripping HTML tags would change the documented functionality of this method.

Thanks, I can also confirm this issue and this is definitely a bug, not a feature request. The expected behaviour is to strip the affected text.

For example, using the Metatag module (which uses [node:summary] by default for node meta descriptions!), this bug will break the metatag generation if the shortened text has a long link in the beginning. The text will be stripped right before the link and that's it.
