Hello Miriam,
thanks for your reply.

I read your post several times but somehow I still did not get an answer 
to my problem. I hope I don't sound nagging or unfriendly - I really 
appreciate any help and you already made twice an effort to help me ;-)

I do like to remove the image before the links, as well as the 
css-class, the alt-tag and the title. I do not miss any of the stuff I 
removed and I am fully aware that it is gone. (It is also gone for the 
textarea which was not included in my FCE and works just as I intended to)

I did not find any way with the standard rtehtmlarea-configuration to 
add two characters (&raquo ) before any link. There seems to be 
only a way to add images.

So I was happy to find an extension (ml_links) which does exactly what I 
need. According to the autor (Markus Friedrich) it also works with 
Templavoila.

Of course I would be happy for every extension I don't need - but there 
seems to be no way without it.

The strange thing is, that two rte-areas on the same page are parsed 
totally different - so somehow TV bypasses the parsing of the "standard" 
rte and I don't know where it happens. I used a bit of rte-debugging but 
could now find any difference in the backend between the two areas.

I know - I am using T3 since version 3.5 - but I never encountered this 
problem (I never had to add something to a link) and as of now neither 
google or any other source could provide help.

This is very good stuff - I found it also while looking for an answer to 
my problem. I did already in another project lots of BE-configuration to 
rte but not nearly as much as would be possible. (So when the issues 
related to the FE are solved I will come back to this page and make my 
own configuration.)
