### Import

TypeScript

```
import { ClearFormat } from '@bloklabs/core/tools';
```

### Save Data

TypeScript

```
// Removes formatting tags from the block's text field.
// "<b>Hello</b> world" becomes "Hello world"
```

JSON

  "type": "paragraph",
  "data": { "text": "Hello world" }
}
```

### Usage Example

TypeScript

```
import { Blok } from '@bloklabs/core';
import { ClearFormat, Paragraph } from '@bloklabs/core/tools';

const editor = new Blok({
  holder: 'editor',
  tools: {
    // Paragraph is the default block and is not bundled with the core —
    // without it the editor starts with an "unsupported block" stub.
    paragraph: Paragraph,
    clearFormat: ClearFormat,
  },
});
```
