Sorry, Xilize does not provide that ability.  You'll have to write a filter to 
strip all the inline markup from each block of text -- modify the source.  If 
you do that and want to supply it as a patch or just as an example I'd be 
happy to include it in the next update.  This would be nice functionality to 
have.  

If you want I'll point you to the part of the code that handles inline markup 
-- but it's the most complex and brittle part!  I'd like to replace the piece 
with a much more sane implementation.

You might want to consider just stripping out some of the markup like 
*strong*, **bold**, and _emphasis_  and replace  "link":url with link 
(whatever ones are commonly used in the source xil you are processing).  That 
would be quite simple and not involve touching the Xilize source.
