I have CKEditor on post text where I want to insert html-code. Something like this:
<pre>
<code class="html">
<img src="path/to/img.jpg" />
</code>
</pre>
But when I save the text, CKEditor interprets img-tag as actual html-image and shows broken image. How I can prevent that and tell to escape html-code in pre-code block
<pre>
<code class="html">
<img src="path/to/img.jpg" />
</code>
</pre>
This is an image inside a pre
element. What you want to create is:
<pre>
<code class="html">
<img src="path/to/img.jpg" />
</code>
</pre>
And if you write <img .../>
inside pre
element in CKEditor, then CKEditor will return this (valid) HTML.
What developers often don't know is that when they load that content from their database into <textarea>
this content may need to be encoded (depends on how it's saved). In PHP for instance it's enough to pass it through htmlspecialchars()
.
