Detect empy lists

[bobbulman]

Can you add a check for empy list tags eg: <ul></ul>

We have had a few occurrences of these being left in the rich-text editor fields so it would be good if you could detect them.

Hi Bob!

VoiceOver at least ignores the empty <ul> -- seems to treat it as a <span>. I...tend to lean against HTML quality tests unless the issue presents an accessibility issue, just because I try to hide the HTML behind the curtain as much as possible for the editors. But I can be convinced...

In the meantime -- which CMS are you in? Some have built straightforward text filter functions or plugins that can be set to strip empty tags on save, e.g. HTML Purifier.

Hi,

That’s interesting – we’re using Drupal 10 so I’ll look into that module!

Thanks again
