We are in desperate need of a way to disable the "auto clean" function that we see in our templates that use the Visual Format editor. Whenever a user toggles back and forth between the WYSIWYG and HTML views, a small pop-up is seen saying that the HTML tags are being cleaned. After a user enters HTML into the HTML view, this cleaning ends up messing it up, and making it non-compliant with our standards. Some examples are: 1) the cleanup removes the ending slash from our <br /> and <img ... /> tags, 2) </form> closing tags are moved. and 3) our "style" attributes in table cells are changed into "bgcolor" attributes.
I looked in our custom visualformatconfig.xml file, and saw the following line:
<standard autoclean="true" publish="cleanhtml">
I tried following suggestions in the VisualFormat Developer's Guide. I tried changing autoclean to false and publish to "Minimal". The autoclean still occurred, even with those changes. We did an iwreset, and it made no difference.
Then I searched support.interwoven.com some more and found Article 46072, which states, "It is not possible to turn autoclean off in the current version of VisualFormat Editor". The article then discusses ways to remove extra tags (such as <div>) that the autoclean inserts... That's not my problem, though. I don't want to remove certain tags. I want to keep the VisualFormat Editor from changing anything at all.
Is there any way at all to disable the autoclean completely?
We are using TS 5.0.1
