In my mark-up I want to add a space ( ) between elements without always having to use CSS to do so. If I put in my markup, GWT throws errors. Is there a way around it?
For example:
<g:Label>One </g:Label><g:Label>Two</g:Label>
Should show:
One Two
And not:
OneTwo
As documented here, you just have to add this to the top of your XML file and it will work!
<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">
Note that the GWT compiler won't actually visit this URL to fetch the file, because a copy of it is baked into the compiler. However, your IDE may fetch it.
Rather than use a Label, which to me shouldn't allow character entities at all, I use an HTML widget. In order to set the content, though, I find I have to do it as the HTML attribute, not the body content (note that the uppercase HTML is important here, since the set method is setHTML, not setHtml)
<g:HTML HTML="One " />

I'd like to strip special Wicket tags (e.g. wicket:panel, wicket:child, etc.) from the output in development mode, but keep the wicket:id attribute.
In the WebApplications init one can set getMarkupSettings().setStripWicketTags(true); thus removing the special tags and attributes.
Is it possible to extend / modify Wicket at some point to keep the attribute when stripSpecialTags is set to true?
This is not possible at the moment.
Please file a ticket for improvement at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET!
Thank you!
Why do you want to keep the wicket:id attribute? For testing/selenium? Then you can use the DebugSettings::setComponentPathAttributeName method to output the wicket component path, which is usable in selenium.
I'm parsing some HTML, and I need to get all html in the body tag. My target string will always look something like this:
<body><div><img src="" />text etc</div></body>
However, I just need:
<div><img src="" />text etc</div>
My target string will always begin and end with those body tags. However, there is the repeated warning of not use Regex to parse HTML, but I do not have any viable solutions for that available, besides Regex at the moment.
Question: Are there any safe Regex(s) to use in this case? Or should I just forget it?
You didn't show us what your regex is, but it's not as safe as using DOM parsing if it's as simple as:
<body>(.*?)</body>
...because it's possible that </body> is contained in an attribute string or comment. If you're willing to take that risk, then you'll be fine. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to use DOM parsing and just get the text of the body, though, except it would probably be less efficient.
You could also skip the regex and just find the string indices of <body> and </body> and get the substring between them. That should be even faster.
By the way, this is not parsing the HTML; you're just extracting from the HTML
It's fine to use a RegEx in this case.
Having said that there are much easier ways to get the innerHTML of the body tag.
alert(document.body.innerHTML);
should give you exactly that with no RegEx...
or if you're using jQuery
$(body).html();
I'm working on a site in EPiServer, and whenever I create a page property with the type set to "XHTML string" (which uses the WYSIWYG content editor in Edit mode), it wraps all content in <p> tags.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I can't remove the paragraph margins universally through my CSS (e.g. p {margin: 0 !important;}) since I do need the margins for actual paragraphs of text. I've even tried going to the HTML source view in the editor and manually deleting the <p> tags that it generates, but it immediately adds them back in when I save!
It doesn't happen when the property type is either a long or short string, but that's not always an option since the content might contain images, dynamic controls, etc.
This is becoming a real nuisance since it's very hard to achieve the layout I need when basically every element on the page has extra margins applied to it.
As Johan is saying, they are there for a reason - see more info here. That being said, it's not impossible to remove them. It can be done in one of two ways (taken from world.episerver.com:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnLoad(e);
myEditor.InitOptions["force_p_newlines"] = "false";
}
or
<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
force_p_newlines: false
});
</script>
You can add your own custom TinyMCE-config that removes P-elements or strip them out using regular expressions either when saving the page or when rendering the property/page.
I think it's a bad idea though. P-elements are what the editors generate the most and in most cases their content is also semantically correct. Better to wrap your property in a div with a class and adjust margins using CSS like you mention.
If you're using a version of EPiServer with TinyMCE editors, you can insert <br /> elements instead of <p> elements if you type shift-enter instead of enter. This should eliminate your margin problems.
More info at the link below:
http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/TinyMCE_FAQ#TinyMCE_produce_P_elements_on_enter.2Freturn_instead_of_BR_elements.3F
EDIT: My comment below answers his question better.
I discovered that while I can't remove the <p> tags from the source view (because it adds them back in automatically), if I replace them with <div> tags, it'll leave things alone. It does mean that I've got an extra <div> wrapping some elements that I don't really need, but at least a <div> doesn't add margins like a <p> does, so...good enough!
I have a need to create a <br/> tag in the display label for a menu item generated using Zend_navigation, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do so.
My navigation item is defined in the XML config as:
<registermachine>
<label>Register your Slitter Rewinder</label>
<controller>service</controller>
<action>register</action>
<route>default</route>
</registermachine>
I want to force a tag in the output HTML between 'your' and 'slitter', such that it appears on two line as below:
Register your
Slitter Rewinder
However, I can't seem to do it. obviously using in the XML breaks parsing, and using html entities means that the lable is displayed as:
Register your <br/>Slitter Rewinder
Has anyone had experience of this that can offer advice?
Thanks in advance!
there is no such option built-in you have to use a partial
$partial = array('menu.phtml', 'default');
$this->navigation()->menu()->setPartial($partial);
echo $this->navigation()->menu()->render();
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.helpers.html#zend.view.helpers.initial.navigation.menu
you may also try a hack with <label><![CDATA[Menu label<br/>Second line]]></label>
I found a (hacky) solution:
I updated my navigation.xml to use {br} tokens wherever a <br/> tag is required, and then amended the base Zend/View/Helper/Navigation/Menu.php file as follows:
within htmlify function, changed
$this->view->escape($label)
to
str_replace("{br}", "<br/>", $label)
I could (and probably will) override the Zend Library Menu View Helper with my own at some point, but this at least cover it for now.
there is a escapeLabels boolean used to convert html tags and it's true by default.
You can set your navigation like this
$this->navigation()
->menu()
->escapeLabels(false)
->...

GWT Label widgets iterprets everything as text, not as html tags - that's good, but I would like it to interpret \n as a <br /> how do i do that.
I would make subclass, but I cant find what to override to achieve this behaviour
(I could use HTML widget, but it would interpret all tags - and all I need is an line brak)
Use an HTML widget and set its value using a SafeHtml constructed with SafeHtmlBuilder.appendEscapedLines:
HTML label = new HTML(new SafeHtmlBuilder().appendEscapedLines("foo<bar\nbaz>quux").toSafeHtml());
(alternatively, you can split("\n", -1) your text, call SafeHtml.htmlEscape on each part and join them back with a <br>, that's what appendEscapedLines does)
Another option is to use CSS, which may be sufficient in some cases where this problem emerges.
Add the CSS attribute white-space: pre or pre-wrap in the area where you display the text. It will ensure that line breaks are respected when rendering the document.
This approach has the potential to reduce some complexity, e.g. the processing of input where \n is replaced with <br/>.
You can use com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HTML class to achieve this or simply write,
Label label = new HTML("// html code you wnat to write");
The problem to display multi-line text with HTML in XML files is that we are not allowed to use character < in the content. For example the below code cannot be compiled:
<g:HTML HTML="Line 1<br />Line2<br />Line 3" />
In my case, I declare that text as a i18n string then use in html
<ui:with field='ln' type='com.mycompany.i18n.LocalizableStrings'/>
<g:HTML HTML="{ln.EXPLAINATION}" />
