Indent and BR selections

Reported by: Damian Owned by: Garry Yao
Priority: Normal Milestone: CKEditor 3.0
Component: General Version:
Keywords: IBM Confirmed Review+ Cc:

Description

When selecting text that uses <BR> for line separation, the indent feature bleeds the selection to the containing <P>. So that this:

<div>
	test 1<br />
	test 2<br />
	test 3<br />
	test 4<br />
	test 5<br />
</div>

becomes this;

<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
	test 1<br />
	test 2<br />
	test 3<br />
	test 4<br />
	test 5<br />
</div>

irrespective of how many lines of text were selected. The expected behavior would be to indent only the selected text. E.g. if line 3 & 4 were selected the result could be:

<div>
	test 1<br />
	test 2<br />
	<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
		test 3<br />
		test 4<br />
	</div>
	test 5<br />
</div>

This's been designed by purpose, but maybe your expected result will a better result for enterMode=BR.

This actually does not make sense when we look at the HTML specification - paragraphs are not supposed to contain other paragraphs. Let's say we feed this XHTML code to W3C's XHTML validator.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> 
        <title>Test XHTML validity</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>
            test 1<br />
            test 2<br />
            <p style="margin-left: 40px;">
                test 3<br />
                test 4<br />
            </p>
            test 5<br />
        </p>
    </body>
</html>

W3C will tell you that this isn't valid XHTML. And in fact, even if you force that HTML into the browser via Firebug or a raw HTML file on your local harddisk - the paragraph will look wrong.

Changing the inner block to a <div> would make it look "right" but it's still invalid XHTML.

I agree that nested <P> tags would cause invalid XHTML. On the other hand, if my document does not contain <P> tags but <DIV> tags and I used enterMode=BR, then I would expect that indent would work on my selected lines of text. The example provided seems like a valid use case to me. Am I missing something?

Reopened to continue discussion.

Reopened to continue discussion.

Just to clarify, the example I am referring to is the code snippet with <DIV> tags.

The missing information in the report is that this issue happens with enterMode=br. In this case, we should really have it working as the reporter described.

After discuss with Martin, we could provide a very simply way to go:

  1. If content is directly inside body(blockLimit), indent the selected lines separated by <br> as a whole, with a new <div> block;
  2. If content is otherwise inside a block, indent the existed block.

After a group discussion, we need some changes for the second case, it should work as same with the ticket described, I'm taking over the ticket.

Remain unchanged.

  1. If content is otherwise inside a block, indent the existed block.

Change to : If indent the selected lines group as 1. and break the block.
