News box

One issue I did notice is when you post an article in news with an external image, where the image is larger than the text area, the image stays full size where the overflow of the image is hidden. As a temp fix i needed to include the following in the global.css.
.box img {
border: 0;
object-fit: contain;
max-width: 725px;
}
Being new to composr though I am struggling to achieve the attached image for the main news block on the front page. And having it strip all html from the text.

We'll consider a universal max-width rule for v11, I think people are expecting it now rather than setting image sizes.
You can strip out HTML in Tempcode using the STRIP_HTML symbol. Try this change in NEWS_BOX.tpl…
Code
{+START,IF,{TRUNCATE}}{$TRUNCATE_LEFT,{NEWS},400,0,1,0,0.4}{+END}
{+START,IF,{$NOT,{TRUNCATE}}}{NEWS}{+END}
Code
{+START,IF,{TRUNCATE}}{$STRIP_HTML*,{$TRUNCATE_LEFT,{NEWS},400,0,1,0,0.4}}{+END}
{+START,IF,{$NOT,{TRUNCATE}}}{$STRIP_HTML*,{NEWS}}{+END}
The '*' is because it needs to be re-escaped after being converted into text.
Or, you could just set the news summary field manually to be plain for each article.
