The secure (simplified) HTML editor allows you to deactivate security-relevant editing functions, for example, inserting HTML text.

The deactivation of editing functions can affect existing documents. When saving an existing document that contains deactivated elements, for example, tables, the system hides these elements (and displays, for example, only the text in the table cells).
You can use a secure HTML editor for the following applications:
● Tasks
● Meeting records
● Session records
● Groupware (for example, e-mail text)
● Structuring forms with XML forms
● Feedback
● Comments
● Personal notes
● Discussions
● Editing HTML files
● Editing HTML properties for documents
You configure the secure HTML editor in the system configuration for Content Management. (Path in the portal: System Administration → System Configuration → Knowledge Management → Content Management → Utilities → Editing → HTML Editing.)
If you activate the HTML editor, you can allow or exclude individual editing functions.
In the case of XML forms, as soon as you activate the secure HTML editor, the default settings defined for XML forms apply automatically. In this case, the editing functions activated in the configuration have no bearing.
