Understand the "description" field in API

Lebostein

For example the description field of the passenger train 60197 (see attached file).

There are html tags like <p> or <li> and I can see non-html tags like \n or \t

In this case this seems no clean html or how I can understand this?

It looks to be the way the json encoder has dealt with it. It's saved in the database as plain text, which has new lines and tabs in it in addition to HTML tags.

Strip them out and ignore them...

That's just the way JSON encodes literal new lines and tabs in the string. You shouldn't need to do anything with them, not even strip them, depending on what you're doing with the HTML output.
