This fails XCTAssertEqual(attributedString, "header") because attributedString is

header {
    NSPresentationIntent = [header 1 (id 1)]
}

>Solution :

NSAttributedString (in UIIKit/TextKit has a string property.

You can go from NSAttributedString to AttributedString to do so:

let nsAttributedString = NSAttributedString(attributedString)
let stringWithoutTags = nsAttributedString.string

You can also use characters of AttributedString:

let stringWithoutTags = String(attributedString.characters)
