New keys to allow and remove custom markup

March 14th, 2024 | Minor

This release added the allow_custom_markup key to enable editing of custom markup in rich text editors and the remove_custom_markup key to strip custom markup from rich text. It also added documentation links to checkboxes and switches, a Copy output button, custom URL support for your dashboard preview screenshot, and updated the View output button.

This release addressed several issues, including those affecting publishing to posts in Jekyll, image duplication in the Visual Editor, embeds, the conflicting updates warning, and new files.

Features & Improvements:#

  • Added more options for handling HTML or Markdown structure that cannot be recreated in the rich text editor.
    • The allow_custom_markup key allows you to edit custom markup in rich text editors and explicitly accept the risk of unintentionally deleting elements that cannot be recreated.
    • The remove_custom_markup key will strip custom markup from content edited in a rich text editor, allowing you to clean files of unnecessary HTML content.
    • The remove_custom_markup key is disabled if allow_custom_markup is enabled.
    • You can define these keys anywhere you would configure a rich text toolbar. By default, allow_custom_markup is false for inputs and true for editable regions, and remove_custom_markup is false for inputs and editable regions.
    • You can configure both keys using the configuration GUI.
    • When using allow_custom_markup outside of editable regions, content that uses JavaScript will not be editable for security reasons. These inputs will appear as uneditable snippets.
    • For more information, please read our documentation on best practices for HTML in rich text and editable regions.
  • You can now add documentation links to checkboxes and switches.
  • You can now copy your build log using the Copy output button in the build modal, on the Status page, and in the Builds history tab.
  • You can now specify a custom URL for your dashboard preview screenshot using editor.default_path in your global configuration file.
  • The View output button is now available while your build is optimizing assets.
  • The embeds tool in the WYSIWYG toolbar now opens a code editor instead of a text area.
  • Invalid editable regions will now preserve their original content and have better error messaging.

  • Fixed an issue where switching between editing interfaces on new files would create a second new file.
