Change Document Type in Rich Text Schema Field Tridion 2009
tridion, tridion2009
Solution
The rich text field in 2009 does not allow all this. But you can use a template to transform the field upon publishing. For example: you could take the title attribute on a link and transform it into a data attribute of your choice. I realize it's a bit awkward, but maybe it will do the trick.
You could do this in a C# template or with an XSLT, using the XSLT Mediator.
Problem
I am a front end developer who uses Tridion from time to time (on a not very technical level) . I am looking for a way to change the document type in the Tridion 2009 rich text schema field to allow me use data-attributes (for a tooltip popover). At the moment the rich text fields are set to be either Strict or Transitional. I need it to be set to HTML5 (I know this can be done in 2011 with some changes. What changes I'm not sure.) As it stands data-attributes are stripped out by default on publish in either of these modes. Selecting HTML5 corrects this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
