Geeklog Forums

I've tried several different ways to highlight exerpts in a story:
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">
and from frontpage:
<span style="background-color:#FFFF00;">

neither of which worked. This is regular html, I guess so why doesn't it work? Please Help.

The style attribute is filtered out by default. Did you add it to the list of allowed HTML?

bye, Dirk

Where do I do that?

Thanks

Why does Geeklog remove certain HTML tags?

near the bottom of config.php

there are already some in there by default. It is easy to do, you add the tag then the allowed attributes.

Sorry for being such a dunce, what is the proper syntax for the entry in the config.php?

the code for the span tag is already in your allowable html for admins list including the class and id attributes. if you use a class or id and put the style into your CSS, all will be well.

or, the code is like this:

That worked! Thanks all
