Test project

http://texteditorwidget.mxapps.io

Usage

Place the widget in a data view, list view or template grid with a data source that has a string attribute and select the 'Value attribute' that contains the editable text.

HTML content

Please note, that the input and output is sanitized. All unsupported HTML tags and JavaScript is removed for security reasons. Supports:

• Tags: h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, br, a, ul, li, ol, s, u, em, pre, strong, blockquote, span
• Attributes:
  • for all tags: class, style
  • a tag: href, name, target
• Schemes: http, https, ftp, mailto

Please note: To be fully secure, all user HTML input should be sanitized on the server side too. This could be done with the XSSSanitize action found in the Community Commons https://appstore.home.mendix.com/link/app/170/ When the option 'Sanitize content' is set to 'false' server side sanitating is required before showing any HTML content.
