>From discussion in DSpace Developers Meeting on 14 April 2010:
[16:48] <tdonohue> HTML stripped from <hint> text in input-forms.xml -
http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-505
[16:49] <grahamtriggs> mdiggory: does the force option in xmlui allow you to go
to a secure form for the authentication procedure, and then back to normal
browsing whilst logged in... does it force https for duration of login... or
does it make all requests go https?
[16:50] <kshepherd> i remember talking with carynn about this a bit
[16:50] <carynn> yah, sorry, i'm lurking here...
[16:50] <mdiggory> just authenticated sessions
[16:50] <tdonohue> hmmm...DS-505 sounds like it may actually be an
improvement/feature request? is this really a bug, or is it just not acting as
expected?

[16:50] <tdonohue> hi carynn
[16:51] <carynn> i wasn't sure if it was intended to be text only, of if it
should be a new feature request...
[16:51] <mdiggory> do not like the idea of html in labels
[16:51] <mdiggory> especially if they are used as html "labels"
[16:51] <richardrodgers> yea, I'm not clear on whether it's stock DSpace or
custom code...
[16:51] <tdonohue> it's definitely stock, out-of-the-box dspace
[16:52] <carynn> if you're using it as helper text, it can be nice (iow, point
to a url within the gray text below a dropdown for the "war and peace" version,
instead of "cliff's note")
[16:52] <grahamtriggs> the hints aren't labels - it's explanatory text... and
it's very useful to have html, for basic formatting - italics, bold - and
linking to longer descriptions in the help
[16:52] <kshepherd> don't have to allow full html
[16:52] <kshepherd> i'm sure links would be useful for people, to direct users
to help pages etc
[16:52] <mdiggory> ok ok...
[16:52] <carynn> exactly - hints are the lines of text that explain what the
field is for
[16:52] <carynn> :)
[16:52] <mdiggory> XMLUI limits your ability to use html in content/DRI
[16:53] <mdiggory> shortcoming or feature... is a matter of perspective
[16:53] <tdonohue> yea, it makes sense to allow HTML -- it just sounds like the
initial developers (likely Texas Digital Library who built Manakin) removed it
cause of past problems
[16:53] <kshepherd> i haven't investigated it too much more than that initial
caveat in DescribeStep
[16:53] <mdiggory> mixing presentation and content...
[16:53] <tdonohue> Any volunteers to look at this? see how hard it would be? (I
have no idea)
[16:54] <mdiggory> carynn: did you try using dri tags?
[16:54] <mdiggory> dri:p etc, with appropriate namespace
[16:54] <carynn> didn't try that... you mean within the tag in the
input-forms.xml?
[16:55] <grahamtriggs> If it hasn't been picked up before then, I expect I'll
do something with it before the next major release - but I won't be going
anywhere near it in the next couple of months
[16:55] <mdiggory> why not ;-)
[16:55] <tdonohue> ok...assign DS-505 to grahamtriggs for further investigation
-- others are welcome to help

> Key: DS-505
> URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-505
> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: XMLUI
> Affects Versions: 1.5.2
> Reporter: Caryn N.
> Assignee: Graham Triggs
> Priority: Minor
>
> I am unable to add simple html to the hint text in the input-forms.xml.
> Excerpt from DescribeStep.java, which might explain the issue.
> * There is a problem with the way hints are handled. The class that we
> use to
> * read the input-forms.xml configuration will append and prepend HTML
> to hints.
> * This causes all sorts of confusion when inserting into the DRI page,
> so this
> * method will strip that extra HTML and just leave the cleaned
> comments.
