I'm using CKEditor 5 on my website in order to allow users to generate PDF templates for their company.
My issues is, that once I take the data out of the ckEditor, every styled element has a class="CSS-Class-Here", which is problematic due to the fact that when I convert the HTML contents of the CKEditor to PDF, the PDF doesnt know any of these classes.
Is there any way to get CKEditor to save these classes as inline styles?
I know that its possible to create a plugin for a specific element for a specific style, but I want everything to act this way, not something specific.
Also, It's impossible to just inject the styles into the PDF itself, due to the fact that ckEditor keeps their styles in javascript functions and creates them on demand.
For example:
Yellow highlighted text comes out as:
<mark class="" marker-yellow "">Random Text</mark>
I would like it to come out as:
<mark style="background: yellow">Random Text</mark>
Meaning that the style that's present in the marker-yellow class should be applied inline directly to the element itself.

I'm trying to "upload" an html-converted .docx file into a CKEditor. So far, the convertion from .docx to html is nearly perfect and I'm able to pass the code from Java(Spring/Maven) to my webapp(ZK framework, using native CKEditor and JavaScript).
The problems I've had so far revolve around the fact that the loaded text is either half-formatted or not formatted at all, and that's the actual reason I'm working in this (To avoid loss of format present by copy-pasting). I've managed to find the reason of this behaviour: CK likes HTML tags OR won't use multiple styles per container (ie. style="font-weight: bold" is Ok, but style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold" isn't, it will pick one or another) and Docx4j uses inline styling for formating because of XHTML (As far as I've read).
After that I tried to force the styles in CKEditor by the config file, but that wasn't the solution as one element will overwrite the another, resulting in only one style being used.
With all that, I decided to manipulate a test docx (It's literally a "hello world" line bold, with italics and underline), converted it and forced the tags b, i and u on the resulting HTML file through Java. The result was the desired one.
Now my focus is to config docx4j so it uses tags instead of inline css, as so far it's the "easiest" solution and I liked the resulting html from it. After reasing some more I came across an old class with a method that (by name) will do that, but it's not present in my imported library. I tried both, new and old methods to convert to html but the results are the same.
Is there a setting or a way to let docx4j (v8.2.3 reference) know that I want html tags instead of css styles? I've seen the examples and looked into the javadoc, but it's a bit outdated and didn't really helped me that much. This seems to be the only way to do this, or build my own parser, which is simply not an option due time constraints.
Thanks!
I'm using Full HTML filter, with CKEditor. The following filters are enabled:
Align images
Caption images
Track images uploaded via a Text Editor
Collapsible text blocks
Note that Limit allowed HTML tags and correct faulty HTML is NOT enabled.
when I add a style attribute to a table element in Ckeditor using the Source view, specifically "width=75%", it is stripped when the page is rendered. When I edit the page again and go to Source view, the style tag is there.
What is stripping it on render?
I believe inline styles are removed by default for security reasons. But, there has been a lot of discussion about this issue on Drupal.org over the past few years. If you're looking for a workaround and accept the risk, here are two approaches I have found:
How to fix: CKEditor is removing style attributes. Drupal 8.
Refactor Xss::attributes() to allow filtering of style attribute values
Fair warning: I have not personally implemented either of these.
Inline style is stripped by default with Basic HTML formatter. Unless you have a specific reason why you don't want to turn on Limit allowed HTML tags I highly recommend that you do because it gives you a lot of control over what tags you and others can use in the wysiwyg. In addition, it allows you to add a "Styles" button with pre-configured styles so you don't have to insert inline CSS code repetitively.
I've created a CKEditor widget to allow a user to input a section of text into a colored box once it is output to a report. My code is almost exactly like the simplebox example on the CK site
While I can get the widget to work and add the correct classes, 'simplebox-title' etc, it is also adding a ton of extra wrapper classes, data tags, and even an img (for the move button) when I save it into the database. So instead of having a clean:
<div class="simplebox-title"></div>
I end up with about 4 lines of code like:
<div data-cke-widget-id="0" data-cke-display-name="div" class="cke_widget_wrapper cke_widget_block" data-cke-filter="off".....etc>
All of this is going into the database. It even transfers the image of the "+" sign to move the div around. I don't want any of this as it comes through from the database into the report page.
I'm sure I'm missing something (probably obvious), but I can't find it. And blowing up the DB + having that move button won't work on a report.
I'm using PHP/Laravel, mysql, standard (not floating) CKEditor, CKEditor Save plugin.
Any help?
How can I show documents created with Ckeditor in read only so that they as much as possible like in the editing mode but without having to create the editor for each message?
In my project users can send messages to each other among many other things and they create the messages using Ckeditor. I would to render message threads in readonly mode without having to create the Ckeditor for each message. Doing that would be slow and would consume a lot of vertical space. Another problem with that approach is that removing the toolbar removes formatting. I would like to just have the messages in div tags and add a class to them and then include Ckeditor css file. Or also acceptable would be to have one element with certain class whose children would get the Ckeditor styles. Before putting the messages in the html response I do whitelisting on the server so the docs are safe to put inside for example a div tag.
I solved this by wrapping the message in an iframe element and added dynamically a style element that links to the Ckeditor style sheet. Now the message gets Ckeditor styles and I don't need to create the editor at all in the read only state and the rest of my page unaffected by the Ckeditor styles.
I am trying to implement CKEditor v4.3.2. The way our product is set up is there are multiple areas of our pages that can be edited - we open an editor in a modal window and use the iframe method for editing. It works great with one exception:
If the page DOM looked something like "body > div#container > div > div#editcontent"
and there was CSS rules targeting that DOM then the CSS does not apply in the editor because the editor DOM is simply "body"
What I would LIKE to do is supply the editor with the HTML DOM Structure of the page that holds the editor so the ContentCSS rules that normally impact the div would still apply (e.g. white background in the div instead of background color from the body tag)
I am at a loss for how to accomplish this.
Thanks!
If you want the content of editor to inherit styles of your page, so a full integration with all the styles applied with every kind of selector, then you would have to use inline editing. Only inline editing offers that.
When using classic editor (the one using iframe) you still have an option though. It's the config.bodyClass setting which lets you assign a class to the body element into which contents is loaded. Then, if all your contents styles selectors starts with that class and a stylesheet is loaded using the config.contentsCss setting, the content inside editor will look similarly to your final page.
