Konrad Windszus commented on SLING-12808: ----------------------------------------- I was not aware that the whitespace behaviour of HTML elements could be modified with CSS (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space) on client-side. Given that there is no need to do escaping of spaces on the server-side. > HTL display context "text" doesn't encode spaces > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SLING-12808 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-12808 > Project: Sling > Issue Type: Bug > Components: HTL > Reporter: Konrad Windszus > Priority: Major > > According to > https://github.com/adobe/htl-spec/blob/1.4/SPECIFICATION.md#121-display-context > the context {{text}} should be used ... > bq. for simple HTML content - Encodes all HTML > However this doesn't escape regular spaces. Particularly not consecutive > spaces which are otherwise rendered as a single space as mandated by the HTML > spec. I think this context needs to replace at least all leading/tailing > spaces with {{&npsp;}} and also multiple consecutive spaces appearing > anywhere else. Otherwise the given text will not be displayed as is > (unmodified) to the end user. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
