Hi, Before I start: In the question below I have changed HTML code from ampersand#123semicolon to & #123 ;, because your forum editor changes it to { which makes it impossible to ask my question. I am writing a mini-manual for a RegularLabs plugin, called ‘Sliders’, which generates accordion elements. I'm sure you are familiar with how it works. You insert

{slider title of the slider}

into the article, then you write the text that should be shown when you click on the element, (you can repeat the above a few times) and then you end with the code

{/sliders}

Now to write the manual, I am inserting & #123 ; for the opening curly bracket and & #125 ; for the closing bracket, because I want to show my fellow editors where to use which code and I want to avoid the plugin converting the code into a real life slider. What I did was: I turned off HTML validation in my profile, but JCE converts &_#123_; to a curly bracket { as soon as I save the article. Is there a way to prevent JCE from doing that, so that I will have {slider title of the slider} which will be converted into a slider by the RegularLabs plugin, and then in the tutorial

& #123 ;slider title of the slider& #125 ;

which will only show the text to insert in the manual article. Thanx, Thom

Hi Ryan,

yes, that is right. I was going to say toggle, but then I decided to write save instead. But indeed: when you toggle from code to JCE and back, the & #123 ; disappears.

Any solution?

Thom

Yes indeed!

Sorry, we are a regional government security authority, I can't give you access to any of our sensitive sites. perhaps I will have to insert an image instead. Not worth risking losing my job over. I'm sorry

Hi there,
I think I have found it:
In the general options I still had the option validate HTML turned on.
I'll check tomorrow at work.

Thanx for your patience and advice.

Thom

Good morning,
Let me tell you in detail what settings I have configured:
- In Global Configuration, I have set "Validate HTML" to No.
- In Profile Super User > Editor Parameters, I have set "Validate HTML" to No.
- I have assigned the Profile Super User to the Super Users
- I have logged in as a Super User.

Can you tell me if I have missed something? JCE still converts the code to a symbol.

Thanx


Thom

Hi there,
Sorry, I missed your suggestion. It was and is set to No.

What I have done now, is make a tiny image (screenshot) of the { and the } and put them inline. It is not really a true solution, but I can't think of anything else at the mo.

Cheers,

Thom

Hello,
Thanks for looking into this.

I'm uploading it here.
