Encapsulating HTML code

Hi,

We are using external visual editor in our DCT to capture some of the HTML code. However, we are facing issues while taking the HTML out in our generation logic which is an external task.

The issues is, when we enter:
[HTML] [/HTML] it comes out to be [HTML] [/HTML] removing the back slash '/'.

Can anyone provide any pointers or suggestions, as how to store the html code as it is along with back slash for any type of element?

Note: I have even heard about a js file that scrub the html part inserted in any HTML form, however could not find the file or code for the same.

It really depends what you do in your logic but if your html code is XHTML compliant, you could parse your html code using an xml parser and regenerate the output with that parser.
Xerces in Java, XML module in perl, and the likes would do the job.

What do you have the 'publish' attribute set to for the 'viewas' and 'standard' elements in your VFE config file?

Both are having the value as 'cleanhtml'.

publish="cleanhtml"

publish="cleanhtml" 

Try setting it to "xhtml" - since that's what it sounds like you want ("html" does not have empty elements defined with '/>' at the end).

Hello kaalraa,

I know it's been a year for this thread's question, but nevertheless... I ran into the same problem just now: External editor returned an HTML DOM dump into the dcr text field, resulting in uppercase html 3.2 style... but we needed XHTML.

If you can access the DOM nodes of your external editor, google for "html2xhtml.js". It takes a DOM node and outputs nicer XHTML style.

Greetings
