Gutenberg removes html tags

  • Gutenberg treats HTML-tags in strange ways. When I insert ­ save it and view the HTML again, the tag is gone. Sometimes it is converted into the invisible character entity (­) and works anyway, but not always, like in the case of the word ?Patienten-fürsprecher? in my page. Why does Gutenberg have to convert the tag and doesn’t leave it to the browsers?

  • Which Gutenberg-Block do you use for HTML-Codes?

    I am using the standard paragraph block, view it as html, add ­ and go back to visuell mode.

    Thanks for the hint, but I like to practice my English ??

    I can understand the behaviour in my case. I also found a bug in the Gutenberg-repository itself that is open since nearly 2 years: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/23509 – if you want to have this adapted, I would recommend you to follow the bug.

    If you still want to use certain characters, you would have to use the HTML block. Of course, this is not so nice to write editorially.

    Gutenberg blocks are written in javascript and the react library. The blocks are built around jsx which looks like HTML but isn’t. It actually javascript. The JSX is converted into HTML when the blocks are saved and stored in the database. What you see on the front end is HTML. But, what you are viewing in the editor is Javascript.
