Content element HTML encode =,<, >

[zonky2]

Affected version(s)

Contao 4.9.20 and Contao 4.4.57

Description
Content element HTML encode =,<, >
older versions did not do this

Workaround: add own dca file tl_content.php with

$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_content']['fields']['html']['eval']['preserveTags'] = true;

This is already fixed in the current 4.9 branch. I could not reproduce it there at least.

// nvm, it is still reproducible there

I have just tried this in the demo approx. 13:15h

However, if you set Allowed HTML attributes to * *, then only < gets encoded (which is expected, I think?).

[zonky2]

Nothing should be encoded in the content element HTML - IMHO

What I don't understand is that this is content and not an attribute?

If you don't want anything encoded, you can set the allowed HTML attributes to * *. And not allowed HTML tags will still get encoded, that has always been the case.

This is the expected behavior. The HTML field has the allowHtml attribute set, so it allows HTML according to your settings.

Note that <, > and = alone are not valid HTML and are therefore encoded.
