Question

I have put this simple malformed HTML into htmlpurifier demo page (link with my test html):

text1
<p></p>
<img src="/x.gif" alt="alt">
<div>text2</div>

I have also specified whitelist of “p” and “img” tags.

However, the resulting output is this:

<p>text1
</p><p>
text2</p>

Why is htmlpurifier removing IMG tag, even though it is whitelisted ?

Answer 1

You have to tell it to allow the src and alt attributes explicitly. Specify in the HTML allowed box ($HTML.Allowed):

p
img[alt|src]
