Just posted a new super simple plugin on ForgeBox for your use. 

Plain Text Convertor

Description:
This plugin takes html or rtf text and converts it to plain text
Example:
This call would return the text of "Test Convertor", stripping out all the HTML.
#getMyPlugin("plaintextconvertor").convert("<p><a href='text.htm'>Test Convertor</a></p>")#
Arguments for the convert function:
text: REQUIRED The text to convert
format: either html or rtf, defaults to html.  This is what format your incoming text argument is in.

This plugin uses the Java Swing library.  Thanks to Ernst van der Linden for the inspiration.

Introducing BoxLang AI Explorer: A Local Catalog for Every AI Pattern

Learning a new AI API usually means jumping between scattered documentation pages, guessing at imports, and copy-pasting code that may or may not still work. We wanted something better for BoxLang AI, so we built the BoxLang AI Explorer: a local, browser-based catalog of runnable BoxLang AI examples, organized by category and difficulty, each with guidance, source code, and sample output.

Community Spotlight: BoxLang Express Brings Node-Style HTTP to the JVM

If you've spent years in Spring Boot, Micronaut, or Jakarta EE, "web framework" usually means a servlet container, an embedded Tomcat or Netty, a build step, and a fat jar before anything answers a request. What if you could skip all of that and still be on the JVM?
