    Hello, im trying to use new tags in the tinymce editor(in the content part), like:

      <figure>
     <img src="url/myimage.jpg">
     <figcaption>this is the caption blah</figcaption>
  </figure>


    But when i save and refresh in the modx editor, the code is gone, but not in my site.

    i mean, the change is visible in my site but the code is not showing in the tinymce editor.

    i cleared cache, deleted cookies and nothing. i guess this tags are not allowed in the editor...

    Where can i add new tags in the editor?

      It depends on what richtext editor you're using. If you're using redactor (recommended) from modmore then you can just go into system settings and specifify allowed tags or denied tags. Though I think by default redactor accepts valid html5 tags.

        Though I should add it's not recommended that you include html in your rich text editor as it should only be used for basic content editing.

            hi, i need <figure> and <figcaption> tags in my tinymce editor. Those new tags are not being displayed in the editor, but those new tags are being displayed in the html code in my site, thats odd...

              I haven't used it for a while but check system settings for options to allow tags, if not you'll have to dig around the code base for where to insert allowed tags.

              Yeah it'll usually save the tags the first time but as soon as you go and view the html and switch back to the editor it'll probably strip it out.

                yep, correct, it strip out after refreshing the modx editor page... i found this thread in how to solve it, but its not working
