No way to stop showing the red flag separately

[Ron Yu]

Html source code containing "<a name=”quotes”></a>" displays a red flag. No way to put off it, unless we disable "link" plugin as follows, config. removePlugins: 'link

Steps to reproduce

1. Copy the text from the attached file
2. Paste into CKEditor

Expected result

Please provide a config method to put off red flag, while "link" is enabled.

Actual result

Could only disable red flag by disable "link" plugin.

Other details (browser, OS, CKEditor version, installed plugins)

OS: Windows 8.1 CKEditor version: 4.5.5 Occurs on demo site: yes

Text containing empty anchor

[Ron Yu]

Seeking for a solution to put off red flag. Red flag sometimes will make confusion, when we pass some text to CKEditor and it will show red flag we don't notice in other editors. Thanks.

it will show red flag we don't notice in other editors.

This is how anchors are presented in the editor. This is how this plugin works. We can't add config option for icon because it is not just about icon. The anchor gets cke_anchor class which is in fact hardcoded inside the plugin.

If you want to change it, you can:

1. Change the anchor.png icon available under ckeditor\plugins\link\images to some other with the same name (don't forget to clear browser's cache). This can be done in release package.
2. If you want to change whole class you need to edit this plugin. You can get source code from here: ​http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_source,
   make changes here:
   ​https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/blob/master/plugins/link/plugin.js#L18-L19,
   ​https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/blob/master/plugins/link/plugin.js#L31-L40
   and finally build your CKEditor release according to ​http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_build.

NOTES:

• The branch for CKEditor 4.5.9 is ​https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/tree/stable
• You can remove anchors by just removing the buttons config.removeButtons = 'Anchor'; so if you don't need anchors but need links, you can use this.
