[upstream] Remove Format button does not remove `style` attributes from block-level elements

Agreed.

The upstream issue is https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/11580.

Hi there,

I am also facing the same issue, when the content editors go in to remove the formatting the inline styles are not removed. Has anyone found any workaround this?

Thank you.

The workaround we're advising clients is to use the "paste as plain text" button, or cmd-shift-v

This apparently just got fixed on the ckeditor5 master branch. See https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/pull/13949.

Wonderful! Looks like many Style-related bugs are being fixed in the current development cycle: https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/milestone/67?closed=1.

… but it did not yet ship in CKEditor 37.1.0, which we just updated to yesterday: 📌 Update CKEditor 5 to 37.1.0 Fixed .

So it looks like this will be for either 37.2.0 or 38.x. Still, great news! 😊

Just keep in mind we improved the Remove format for inline, as it was the fastest :) The Remove format for blocks will be tracked here: https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/13983

Thanks for that clarification! 😊

Witek beat me here.. I was going to post the same thing. Very happy to see this progressing.

Top :)
And thankful ...

Still tracking for https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/13983 — updating target version.

https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/13983 has only 7 votes; maybe if some more Drupal folks can log into Github and upvote it, the CKEditor maintainers will give it higher priority.

Doesn't work for me either. Even somehow pasting as plain text with right click didn't solve this problem for text copied directly from word which is using its own fonts and styles.

As Wim Leers says in the comment https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3321254#comment-15025068 🐛 [upstream] Remove Format button does not remove `style` attributes Postponed it was fixed on https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/releases/tag/v38.0.0 but Drupal 9.5.x require "ckeditor5": "~35.4.0", on 11.x "ckeditor5": and 10.x seems that is required "~39.0.1".

Hi all,

I am confused but what is the workaround for websites that are still on 9.5 core?

Thanks.

@mohithasmukh There are no workarounds, the solution is to keep CKEditor 4 until update Drupal to version 10 and then use CKEditor 5, the 9.5 support ends in November.

#31: 🐛 [upstream] Remove Format button does not remove `style` attributes Postponed is referring to the Style plugin and the Remove Format button working with that.

This issue is about the Remove Format button removing style attributes. That's a very different problem space.

https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/13983 is the blocker, and it now has 28 votes already.

Clarifying issue title.

Unfortunately, the fix to remove inline formatting still excludes classes/styles on links. I've opened a followup issue:
https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/15318

Thanks, @aasarava!

As it doesn't look like this is going to be implemented upstream in the near future, is anyone aware of a workaround to force this behaviour, if you're happy to take a scorched earth approach to attributes on elements?

We've got clients trying to paste in a lot of documents from Word, and the "remove formatting" button only stripping styles from inline elements tends to leave the document with a broken mix of styling, mostly relating to sizing and spacing. Stripping styles after the fact in the filter prevents intentional styling and makes the editing experience very inconsistent when they're still visible within the editor.

We have been using the 'CK editor 5 Paste Filter' module as a temp fix to catch things on paste. Not quite the same so might not work for you.

Thanks Scott, that does solve our immediate issue.
