Description | Use the plainText property to get the content of a field as plain text with any listStyle properties being converted appropriately into plain-text for the paragraphs the affect. When you get a field's plainText, the field's text is converted to plain text with any listStyle property being converted appropriately into plain-text. Any paragraphs with listStyle set are prefixed by an appropriate plain-text form of the bullet or index. The property returns text encoded in the native platform encoding with '?' replacing any non-convertible characters. | ||||||
