Links and Edits to HTML are broken by Publii
Is anyone having an issue where manual HTML edits in the WISIWIG editor are being broken after apply changes is pressed?
Ampersand (&) symbols in links are being destroyed by the editor
Example: . . . server&qid= . . .
is being replaced with: . . . server&qid . . .
The above code sample is part of an href image link.
The same thing happens when you insert an image. If the link contains an &, it is changed to the HTML code &.
It seems that this behaviour is valid: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50069810/tinymce-converting-ampersand-in-querystring-to-html-entity
Thanks for validation. No one in the Publii site believes this is an issue. Is there a fix?
@Linus-007 - as it is stated in the linked resource - it seems to be a valid behaviour. I have tested it locally and links with & in the src attribute are properly parsed by my browser. Publii v.0.39 contains updated TinyMCE editor so it seems that it is ok.
If it is working I do not see any reason to change this behaviour, especially due fact that it is correct also from the HTML specification point of view.
To be clear, the links are visible in the post tool, but broken when previewed or synchronized to my website. The issue is not resolved with 0.39.
@Linus-007 - I still do not understand one thing - what do you mean by "broken"? These links for me are working correctly when they are clicked.
Broken = links clicked result in an error. The characters in amazon affliate links are being destroyed.
For Broken Description:
Example: . . . server&qid= . . .
is being replaced with: . . . server&qid . . .
The above code sample is part of an href image link.
Users who click the link that is modified by Publii get a 404 not found error.
@Linus-007 - there is no update, because I do not see any issue there. Replacing & to & is absolutely correct https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50069810/tinymce-converting-ampersand-in-querystring-to-html-entity
