[Typo3] Preserving nested tags in RTE

[Wankyu Choi]

Hi all,

 

Please bear with me if this has been already discussed.I'm just cutting my
teeth on Typo3 :-)

 

I have a very annoying problem with RTE/RTEHTMLArea, that is, any rich text
editor whose content gets cleaned up by the
t3lib_parsehtml_proc->TS_transform_db() call.

 

The problem is: all nested tags get killed by this transformation; only the
innermost tags survive the transformation process.

 

For instance, if I put the following block of HTML code into the RTE (source
mode)::

 

<div class="box">

    <div class="title">What's New?</div>

    <div class="body">

        <div class="content">line 1</div>

        <div class="content">line 2</div>

    </div>

</div>

 

I get the following on saving it::

 

<div class="title">What's New?</div><div class="content">line 1</div><div
class="content">line 2</div>

 

As you can see, all the outer div's (class 'box' and class 'body') are gone.


 

I tried disabling the TS_transform_db() call and found the above-said
example preserved (well, with a couple of extra <p></p> tags.)

 

How can I preserve nested tags, no matter how ugly they may look? Disabling
the TS_transform_db() call looks way too kludgy.

 

And while we're at it, how can I preserve newlines in RTE? The above example
also shows what I mean by this: all newlines/indentations are gone.

 

I'd appreciate any comments on these problems.

 

Thanks in advance.
