HTML Source Editing

By default, CUE's rich text editor (used for editing XHTML-based rich text fields, not storyline content) does not include a source editing feature as in most cases it is not required. In some cases, however, rich text fields may end up containing unwanted or incorrect HTML markup. In such cases, access to a source editor may be needed to correct the problem.

You can therefore optionally enable a source editing option in the rich text editor. The editor cannot be globally enabled, but you can enable it for specific content types and / or specific rich text fields by adding ui:allow-source-editor elements to a publication's content-type resource. For detailed instructions on how to do use this element, see allow-source-editor.

For any rich text field where HTML source editing is enabled, the following button is added to the editor toolbar:

The HTML source editing option is intended to be used for the correction/removal of invalid or unwanted HTML, not for the insertion of custom HTML content.
