TextPlugin removes source code HTML on save

[Noah3141]

I have had something similar occur in two separate projects.

In one, I was making modifications to the source HTML, like adding another style attribute to a tag, and my new attribute would be gone on save, leaving only the previous state of the tag.

In the current one, all tag attributes are getting purged on TextPlugin save.

In both these cases the TextPlugins were created within placeholder fields in the following manner:

block_text_plugin: TextPlugin = add_plugin(
    placeholder=subsection_placeholder,
    plugin_type=text_plugin,
    language="en-us",
    target=block_plugin,
    body=block["body"],
)

Where block['body'] contains HTML elements, including some <ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha">.

Before: <ol style="list-style-type:lower-roman"> After: <ol>

djangocms-text-ckeditor sanitizes any HTML before safe. You might need to configure the sanitizer. See here: https://github.com/django-cms/djangocms-text-ckeditor#configurable-sanitizer

It seems like it would certainly be the root cause, but I can't seem to get the settings to take effect:

I managed to get the global setting,

TEXT_HTML_SANITIZE = False

to turn it off altogether to work (i.e. keep list styles), but I suspect I want a bit more precision.

Specifically providing "style" inside the settings.py did not preserve the style attributes.

TEXT_ADDITIONAL_ATTRIBUTES = ('style',)

So, now I'm trying the custom parser. I have it successfully hooked up, because I can see its print statements when made within the parse function

from djangocms_text_ckeditor.sanitizer import AllowTokenParser

Keep = bool
class ListAttributeParser(AllowTokenParser):
    def parse(self, attribute: str, val: str) -> Keep:
        if attribute == "style": 
            print(val) # -->  list-style-type:lower-roman
            return True
        else: return False

I did add:

    'basicEntities': False,
    'entities': False,

(They are not duplicate keys)

Does it work? I must say, I am not an expert of htmllib.

I have not gotten the custom parser to work, no. Switching True/False with each other didn't seem to have an effect.
