#7131 closed Bug (fixed)

Copy/Paste Word List should preserve list properties

Reported by: Lynne Kues Owned by: Garry Yao
Priority: Normal Milestone: CKEditor 3.5.3
Component: Plugin : Paste from Word Version: 3.1
Keywords: IBM Cc: satya_minnekanti@…, jamcunni@…

Description (last modified by Krzysztof Studnik)

Copy a list formatted as follows from Word. Paste into CKEditor.

A.	Test
B.	Test
C.	Test
        a.	111
        b.	111
        c.	1111
F.	test

The list properties (i.e., number type, start number) are not preserved. The <liststyle> plugin supports these properties and should preserve these on paste.

Expecting the following result simply because in-consequent numbering is not well supported in CSS:

A.dddd
B.dddd
C.dddd 
 a.dddd
 b.dd
 c.dd
D.ddddd

comment:6 Changed 13 years ago by Garry Yao

New patch addresses most of the current pains from list pasting:

  1. Using "value" attribute (on list item) to present inconsequent list numbering, though it's currently deprecated on XHTML1.0 strict.
  2. "list-style-type" pulled up to list root node when possible.

comment:7 Changed 13 years ago by Wiktor Walc

The "value" attribute is copied to the next list item when adding a new entry to the list. In the attached test case, the last item "F" is duplicated when creating more list items:

A.	Test
B.	Test
C.	Test
        a.	111
        b.	111
        c.	1111
F.	test
F.	test
F.	test

As a enter key issue is encountered here, let's leave this a separate ticket.

With FF, the patch makes no difference and the list is not pasted as a list.

With IE, it's much better, but still not perfect. I'll add a new TC file that reflects the reporter TC. Empty D and E items are also added.

#6662 has to be checked.

It's interesting how you created that list but you've just cheated IE, other browsers works just well, so, an IE bug.

Replying to Saare: WFM in both IE and FF4?

At this point #6662 needs to be fully fixed first, otherwise we're not able to check this ticket with FF.

It's interesting how you created that list but you've just cheated IE, other browsers works just well, so, an IE bug.

I've just used the only feature I've found in Word to continue the list from a different counting number: Right-Click the list item > Set Numbering Value... > Check Continue from previous List > Check Advance value (skip numbers ) > Set value to: F.

It looks like MS Word sends the skipped items as well. Is there any chance for us to identify and ignore them?

comment:14 Changed 13 years ago by Garry Yao

It looks like there's no way to tell the difference with plain empty list bullet, see if others get some idea.

comment:15 Changed 13 years ago by Garry Yao

Ask for another review as #6662 is now fixed.

I've just used the only feature I've found in Word to continue the list from a different counting number...

If you check the ticket TC doc file, it doesn't have this issue, so it looks like there's something to do with the way of editing the list, anyway I don't think we can find a solution here.

Can't we use the "mso-hide: all" style?

In fact this looks like the way for it.

  • Seems like FF also adds the D,E bullets, are we able to fix it there?
  • Seems like this file does not work in FF.
  • Attaching another document that fails parsing.

Replying to Saare:

I figured it out, yes it affects all browsers actually, that the empty list bullets issue only persist if you check "Continue from previous List" but not "Start new list" in the list numbering dialog;

It's fixed now.

  • Attaching another document that fails parsing.

This's another story, where we have two lists that are too close (without any break to denote they're two ;/ ), I've added another routine to deal with it.

Caught by Wiktor:

  1. List bullet pattern like (2) are not well handled;
  2. Fixing redundant list item numbering.

Something might be still wrong here:

 'cke:listsymbol' is null or not an object

IE8 now shows an internal error when using the following example: http://dev.ckeditor.com/attachment/ticket/6570/ordered_list.docx (it did not happen in 3.5.2, the list properties were not recognized properly in 3.5.2, but the error didn't occur)

The JavaScript error is:

 '0' is null or not an object, default.js line 220

New patch fixes the error. FF 3.6 will still produce incorrect result:

<ol>
	<li>
		one</li>
	<li>
		two
		<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
			<li>
				AAA</li>
			<li>
				BBB</li>
		</ol>
	</li>
</ol>
<p style="margin-left: 108pt;">
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; III</p>
<p style="margin-left: 108pt;">
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; IIII</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
	<li value="3">
		CCC</li>
	<li>
		three</li>
</ol>

But this is because we have no clear indication of list items there:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 108pt; text-indent: -108pt;"><span style=""><span style=""><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span>i.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span></span><span dir="LTR"></span>III</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 108pt; text-indent: -108pt;"><span style=""><span style=""><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span>ii.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span></span><span dir="LTR"></span>IIII</p>

FF4 works, and at least we got no error. R+ for me as for other cases, please give the latest patch your review.
@Garry, this is a wonderful enhancement, congratulations.
