OK, so it looks like the FCKeditor creates invalid html when lists
are created along with text outside the lists (see below for example
html). A key portion of the problem is that the text itself is not
wrapped in P tags, and from the FCK site it looks like there is a
switch to toggle the 'enter = br vs enter = p tag' behavior. I
looked around in the configuration files for FCK and found this
setting in /author/admindocroot/fckeditor/fckconfig.js :
FCKConfig.UseBROnCarriageReturn = false ;
...which I would say the FCK editor is ignoring because when I press
enter in the editor I get BR tags, not P tags. I can't seem to find
this setting overridden in any of the custom settings files either,
located in /author/admindocroot/fckeditor/custom/config/. Is
something else going on in the FCK config (other files other places),
or is FCK for some reason ignoring these settings? And has anyone
seen FCK create valid html when text + lists are involved, using some
combination of config settings?
Thanks,

(sorry, kinnda of tired). While I understand your point this seems
to me an issue related to the Rich Text Editor which is a 3rd party
and not to Magnolia itself. Probably a better place to discuss this
is on their forum.

Hi - Sorry to keep posting about invalid html...
If a list is used in the RichText editor (Magnolia 2.1),
markup like this is generated (using square brackets instead
of angle):
------------ html snippet ---------------
Some Text[br/]
[ul]
[li] one [li]
[li] two [li]
[/ul]
More Text
-------------------------------------------
The problem is that the UL tag is a block level element and
can *never* appear as a sibling to text content. There is
no 'wrapper' tag that can be wrapped around the entire
paragraph to fix it, and its invalid HTML for any standard
(strict/ transitional HTML and XHTML).
The only way I can see to fix this is to make the RichText
editor's javascript format the text similar to this, with P tags:
------------ html snippet ---------------
[p]Some Text[/p]
[ul]
[li] one [li]
[li] two [li]
[/ul]
[p]More Text[/p]
-------------------------------------------
This seems like it would be a fairly major re-write of the
RichText javascript. Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Eric Everman
