console.log(description);
reshtm += '<div class="col-md-6">\
                <a href="coursesdetails" class="well">\
                    <h1>'+apiData[i].course_name+'</h1>\
                    <p>'+apiData[i].course_description+'</p>\

Answer 1

You could try this:

var elem  = document.createElement('DIV');
elem.innerHTML = apiData[i].course_description;
var result = elem.firstChild;
console.log(result);

PS: You might get the escaped characters in the result which you can later trim it off.

Answer 2

As your string format (SS) , you can do something like below

var description = apiData[i].course_description.split("\r")[0]; // get first para
console.log(description);
