# Rule action: Modify text

Use the **Modify text** action to remove elements and make changes to the styling or formatting of a text field.

### Remove HTML

Removes all HTML code (for example, `"<p>"`) from the description of an item. Most channels do not accept HTML code in listing descriptions (Marktplaats is an exception).

### Remove line breaks

Removes line breaks that can make a CSV file messy.

### Remove unnecessary whitespaces

Removes whitespaces that can affect the validity of your listing fields. For example, for product ID “   654  ”.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/how-to-use-actions-then-in-rules/rule-action-modify-text.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
