TextEdit style attributes
Textedit presentation style attributes apply to the TEXTEDIT
element.
This topic lists presentation style attributes for a specific class of form element, common presentation style attributes can also be used for this type of element.
sanitize
This feature is deprecated, its use is discouraged although not prohibited.
By default, to avoid "Stored XSS" attacks, the front-end cleans the HTML sent to form elements to
ensure no malicious script can be executed. This security control prevents for example to use HTML
content such as "<a href='mailto: …"
.
The default for the sanitize
attribute is "yes"
.
To disable the checking of HTML content send to form elements, set the sanitize
style attribute to "no"
.
The sanitize
style attribute makes only sense for TextEdit
form
items, when used with the textFormat
style attribute set to
"html"
:
<Style name="TextEdit.relax">
<StyleAttribute name="textFormat" value="html"/>
<StyleAttribute name="sanitize" value="no"/>
</Style>
showEditToolBox
This feature is deprecated, its use is discouraged although not prohibited.
Defines if the toolbox for rich text editing is shown or not.
Only available when the textFormat
style attribute is set to "html"
.
