    Hi there!

    In MODx Revo 2.2.12 I use TinyMCE 4.3.3. and suddenly it adds a
    [b]</br>[/b]
    for each
    [b]<br />[/b
    ]

    I used in the content at the end, so the output looks like this:

    <h3>HEADLINE</h3>
    
    <p>Text</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><LOREM<br /></strong>IPSUM<br />DOLORES</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><strong>LOREM</strong><br />IPSUM<br />DOLORES</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>LOREM<br />IPSUM</p></br></br></br></br></br>


    I found this post: forums.modx.com/thread/73070/tinymce-keeps-adding-br-tags-in-revo-2-2pl

    the only solution that worked for us was to uninstall and remove the Tiny MCE totally form the system.
    empty cache
    and then reinstall the plugin.
    So its a solution, but not a very nice one

    but this didn't work for me.

    Does anyone else experience this problem?

    • No, just checked and both manually adding it in HTML mode and shift-return to automatically add it seem to be working fine.

      It does insist on converting a legal with HTML5 br without the / to the XHTML version though.

        Hi sottwell and thanks for your reply!

        I did some further research and tried to deinstall the TinyMCE once again, but there was still the TinyMCE in the Elements>Plugin...so I deleted this manually like posted in this thread: http://forums.modx.com/thread/80848/tinymce-uninstall-issue

        Sounds like the plugin wasn't removed?

        Can you check under Elements > Plugins if TinyMCE is still there? If it is, go ahead and remove (or deactivate) it and that should sort out your issue. If it indeed wasn't removed, that's a very good bug report for https://github.com/splittingred/TinyMCE/issues

        So this finally seemed to completely delete the TinyMCE. If I want to edit a resource I see the html-source-code like it should be:

        <h3>HEADLINE</h3>
         
        <p>Text</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p><LOREM<br /></strong>IPSUM<br />DOLORES</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p><strong>LOREM</strong><br />IPSUM<br />DOLORES</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p>LOREM<br />IPSUM</p>


        But in the Front-End the html-output is again with the totally wrong < / b r > , even WITHOUT TinyMCE...

        <h3>HEADLINE</h3>
         
        <p>Text</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p><LOREM<br /></strong>IPSUM<br />DOLORES</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p><strong>LOREM</strong><br />IPSUM<br />DOLORES</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p>LOREM<br />IPSUM</p></br></br></br></br></br>


        Furthermore I tried to create a new Resource and added some text like this

        <p>sdfdsf</p>
        <p>dsf</p>
        <p>dsf</p>
        <p>sdf</p>


        With this resource the html-output is the same, but it looks like there are < b r / >'s instead of <p>'s, so it's only a line-break instead of a "double-line-break" as it should be by using <p>. To get it look like it is a normal <p>-souble-line-break I have to add another <p> </p>...strangewise the old resources don't get affected by this, they are displayed correctly...

        I'm totally confused?!

        EDIT: further testing with an added < b r / >

        <p>sdfdsf<br />123</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p>dsf</p>
        <p>dsf</p>
        <p>sdf</p>


        HTML-OUTPUT:

        <p>sdfdsf<br />123</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p>dsf</p>
        <p>dsf</p>
        <p>sdf</p></br>


        This gets added after each resources that gets displayed via getPage/getResources:

        [[!getPage?
           &elementClass=`modSnippet`
           &element=`getResources`
           &parents=`8,4`
           &limit=`7`
           &pageVarKey=`page`
           &includeTVs=`1`
           &processTVs=`1` 
           &includeContent=`1`
           &tpl=`Artikel-Start` 
           &tplOdd=`Artikel-rechts-Start`
        ]]


        This is the chunk:

        <div class="ContentBlock">
        <div>
        [[+tv.YOUTUBE:notempty=`<span id="vid"><iframe width="480" height="320" src="[[+tv.YOUTUBE]]?wmode=transparent"></iframe></span>`]]
        </div>
        
        <div>
        <span class="kategorielink"><a href="[[~[[+parent]]]]">[[getResourceField ? &id=`[[+parent]]` &field=`pagetitle`]]</a></span>
        
        <h3>[[+pagetitle]]<br /><span>[[+longtitle]]</span></h3>
        
        [[+content:ellipsis=`800`]]
        [[+content:len:gt=`800`:then=`<a class="fancybox link" href="#inline">read more...</a>
        <div id="inline" style="display:none;padding:1em;width:500px;">
        [[+imagelist]]	
        [[+tv.YOUTUBE:notempty=`<span id="vid"><iframe width="480" height="320" src="[[+tv.YOUTUBE]]?wmode=transparent"></iframe></span>`]]
        </div>`]]
        
        </div>
        
        </div>	


        So those strange < / b r >'s get displayed after each

        [[+content:ellipsis=`800`]]


        Right now i tried to use only

        [[+content]]


        and this seems to NOT add any wrong < / b r > 's! So it has to do with the ellipsis i guess? [ed. note: profilneurotiker last edited this post 10 years, 1 month ago.]

          My conclusion so far is to use

          [[+content:limit=`800`]]


          instead of

          [[+content:ellipsis=`800`]]


          This prevents me from the strange and unwanted < / b r > 's
