AW: [opencms-dev] Wysiwyg Editor

[Frank Wunderlich]

Hi Mark,

You are right. If I just drag the pictures onto the page from the image
gallery, no style attribute is attached to the img-tag.
But usually you format the image afterwards by selecting the pic and
opening its property-window (for example for adding a title/alt-text or
aligning it to the rest of the page). After this operation the editor
control adds automatically an additional style-attribute with correct
width and height values.

To use the source code editor is an option that is suitable for me, but
certainly not for the "end-users" that shall be able to maintain the
site without any knowledge of html.

But I think, I have found a workaround in the meantime.

In "opencms_edithtml.js" I have simply added a new javascript-function
that is called whenever the page is submitted or saved.
Here I can do all the tidy-up-work I want to do, for example translating

	
	style="width:10px; height:10px" 
to 
	width=10 height=10

or even applying additional stylesheet-classes (the class-attribute is
no problem for ns4) to the img-tag.

But thanks for answering anyway!
Greetings,
Frank.
