11544 Wrong escaping in title tag, moving tags out of head with placeholders Marcus Bointon "This is related to #11223 and [http://ckeditor.com/forums/Support/Ignoring-placeholders-protectedSource-not-working-in-title-element this forum post]
I'm using the placeholder plugin in CKEditor 4.3.2, which generally works apart from two issues:
* It doesn't allow it to be used in the root of the head tag (so for example you can't use placeholders to generate meta tags); placeholder get moved into the body tag.
* Placeholder items in the title tag (and possibly elsewhere) get escaped incorrectly, and then fail to be unescaped on save, or when switching to/from source mode.
For example, starting by pasting this document into the source view:
{{{
[[mytag1]]
[[mytag2]]
[[mytag3]]
}}}
Switching to HTML view then back to source results in:
{{{
<span tabindex="-1" contenteditable="false" data-cke-widget-wrapper="1" data-cke-filter="off" class="cke_widget_wrapper cke_widget_new cke_widget_inline" data-cke-display-name="placeholder"><span class="cke_placeholder" data-cke-widget-keep-attr="0" data-widget="placeholder">[[mytag1]]</span></span>
[[mytag2]][[mytag3]]
}}}
You can see an escaping wrapper has been applied in the title tag, and the `[[mytag]]` element in the head tag has been moved into the body.
Doing the same switch again results in:
{{{
<span tabindex="-1" contenteditable="false" data-cke-widget-wrapper="1" data-cke-filter="off" class="cke_widget_wrapper cke_widget_new cke_widget_inline" data-cke-display-name="placeholder"><span class="cke_placeholder" data-cke-widget-keep-attr="0" data-widget="placeholder"><span tabindex="-1" contenteditable="false" data-cke-widget-wrapper="1" data-cke-filter="off" class="cke_widget_wrapper cke_widget_new cke_widget_inline" data-cke-display-name="placeholder"><span class="cke_placeholder" data-cke-widget-keep-attr="0" data-widget="placeholder">[[mytag1]]</span></span></span></span>
[[mytag2]][[mytag3]]
}}}
It's now double-escaped, and this repeats each time you switch views or save.
For me this is a complete showstopper; I can't use CKEditor if it causes content explosions." Bug new Normal UI : Widgets 4.3.2 placeholder source
