Consolidate FCK Styles

Hey Guys,

I'm sure this has been covered within the forum before but I was unable to cover it with a search...

I have a question in regards to how fckeditor handles styles.

If you apply a mutiple styles to a word as per my example below two seperate span tags are created. Without mucking through the code base is their a config option that will force fckeditor to reuse the style tags?

existing output:

<p><span style="font-family: Verdana">This is a <strong>bold </strong>word within a sentence. What <span style="font-size: x-large"><span style="color: #ff0000">color </span></span>am i?</span></p>

desired output:

<p><span style="font-family: Verdana">This is a <strong>bold </strong>word within a sentence. What <span style="font-size: x-large; color: #ff0000;">color</span>am i?</span></p>

Thanks!

P.S. Extra thankgs to the fckteam in general! It's simply great.

Re: Consolidate FCK Styles

Well i think I answered my own question. When reviewing fckstyle.js I noticed the following code comment:

   /**
    * Apply an inline style to a FCKDomRange.
    *
    * TODO
    *   - Merge elements, when applying styles to similar elements that enclose
    *    the entire selection, outputing:
    *        <span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffffff">XYZ</span>
    *    instead of:
    *        <span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff">XYZ</span></span>
    */

Basically, it looks like this feature has not been implemented as of yet? Does anybody know of the status or should I start working on exaclty what this TODO suggests?

Hi,

I apologise for resurrecting a dead post but stumbled on this while seeing if this was done in the new "CK" version.

It's not in there as far as I can see.

@redz - I don't suppose you made this change did you?
