Fixes #3181

Context

vue-tsc (and similar packages) can show truncated HTML as the description, e.g. <img src="https://img.s on https://npmx.dev/package/vue-tsc.

Description

Strip unclosed HTML tags left when npm truncates the description. If nothing useful remains, show the empty-description text.

No README fallback in this PR.

Test plan

  • /package/vue-tsc does not show <img src="https://img.s
  • A normal text description is unchanged
  • a < b in a description still shows

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of truncated HTML so incomplete tags are removed cleanly.
    • Preserved text and backtick-delimited code spans when processing truncated content.
    • Removed unwanted trailing whitespace from cleaned output.
    • Improved handling of comparison text containing non-HTML < characters.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for incomplete tags, truncated comments, and markup-only input.

Walkthrough

The HTML sanitisation paths now remove unclosed tags caused by truncated descriptions. The changes trim final output, preserve valid text and code spans, and add regression tests for incomplete tags, comments, and comparison operators.

Changes

HTML sanitisation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared HTML tag stripping
shared/utils/html.ts, test/unit/shared/utils/html.spec.ts
stripHtmlTags removes unclosed trailing tags and trims the result. Tests cover tag-only input, trailing incomplete tags, and text such as a < b.
Markdown HTML sanitisation
app/composables/useMarkdown.ts, test/nuxt/composables/use-markdown.spec.ts
stripAndEscapeHtml removes unclosed trailing tags while preserving backtick code spans. Tests cover truncated markup and updated truncated-comment output.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 23c26

The change removes truncated HTML from package descriptions, but descriptions containing an unclosed tag before a backtick code span may lose valid text. This is a bounded display issue, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a regression test or equivalent fix.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Prevent the trailing-tag match from consuming code spans.

The tag alternative can start at < and match through the end of the string, including a later matching backtick span. For example, <img src="x \code`` is sanitised to an empty string, so the code span is lost. Protect code spans before this pass, or stop the trailing-tag scan at code-span boundaries. Add a regression test for this ordering. The PR objective requires matching backtick code spans to remain.
