Hi Richard & Monte, The problem is that I am creating html text that will be stored in a database, to be retrieved by a PHP site. The user gets an easy interface to manipulate this html, but a major issue is that when the user adds links to PDF files, they need to open in a new window. And the only way I know, is to add a “target” to the link…
so now I’m kinda stuck… bummer :-( Met vriendelijke groeten, Warm Regards, Ton Kuypers +32 (0) 477 739 530 Steenweg op Leopoldsburg 100 • B-2490 • Balen • Belgium www.publishingtools4u.com > On 21 jun. 2016, at 15:51, Richard Gaskin <ambassa...@fourthworld.com> wrote: > > Monte Goulding wrote: > > Ah… the target attribute is not supported by htmlText. htmlText is > > a limited subset of html that supports only field chunk properties. > > There’s no guarantee on round-tripping your htmlText. > > Given how much of modern HTML makes good use of CSS, the range of things one > can round-trip through htmlText is close to zero. > > And that's not bad, given that they're designed for entirely different > purposes: HTML provides content and structure for web pages in a browser, > and htmlText uses HTML-like conventions to provide a plain-text > representation of a field's content and styles. > > @Ton: If you use Mike's script to trap the linkClicked message the URL will > open in a new window anyway (a browser window), so you'll have what you're > looking for without an extra target attribute. > > @Monte: Some time ago Mark Waddingham floated the notion of adding "xmlText" > as a synonym for "htmlText", eventually deprecating the latter.
