Hi Lili,

when trying to indent the red text line in this post (using the indent icon in the editor) I get an error "invalid HTML removed" when trying to post the message…

Hi Gerd,

Thanks for reporting this. I know the cause of the issue, but will do some investigating to find the best solution. I will report back when I have an update.

This issue will be resolved after our maintenance window tonight.

Thanks,

Hi Lili,

yes, this issue was resolved: I can indent and color some text now.

But even then I got an error message: "Invalid HTML" in "Body" with the comment "HTML was edited".

I couldn't spot any difference before and after that error message. It occured with this message…

My usual "working" process is to copy text from a previous answer and paste it into the editor window. Then I apply indentation and text color to it…

I'm having issues reproducing this in Firefox 44.0. I see when copying/pasting text that the <span> HTML tag is added, but that's allowed. The next time before you post by copying/pasting, please switch to the HTML tab in the text editor and take a screenshot. Then, if you attempt to post and receive the error, we can see what HTML may be causing the error.

Thanks,

i would like to see only RUN button..,.

Test

After testing:

Next time with same error! Now with documentation…

I copied the title (or part of) from this post to a new message. It gets pasted with a very big font size (why?).

I set color to red and indent the copied text:

Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied.

After automatic HTML check/cleanup I could post the message…

HTML before error checking:

Thanks, Gerd. The text is big because when copying/pasting, you're pasting the text's formatting as well -- which in this case is the <h1> header tag. You can use ctrl+shift+v to paste as plain text which will remove any associated formatting and html.

The reason for the error is the <h1> HTML tag associated with the text. This error is expected as this is not an acceptable HTML tag in a post body (we do restrict some HTML from being used). If a user wanted to increase the font size in the post, they should use the <font size> tag.
