# Feature: #108580 - Improved page module content preview {#feature-108580-1734567890}

See [forge#108580](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/108580)

## Description {#description}

The page module's content element preview functionality has been
enhanced to provide editors with a better visual representation of content
elements in the backend.

### Sanitized HTML rendering for content {#sanitized-html-rendering-for-content}

Content elements with HTML in the bodytext field (such as text, text & images)
now display sanitized HTML in the page module preview instead of plain text.

A new `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Html\PreviewSanitizerBuilder` has been introduced that creates a sanitizer
specifically for backend previews. This sanitizer:

-   Removes clickable links (unwraps `<a>` tags while preserving
    their content)
-   Removes heading tags (`<h1>` through `<h6>`) while
    preserving their content
-   Allows safe HTML formatting (bold, italic, lists, etc.)

### Enhanced bullet list preview {#enhanced-bullet-list-preview}

Content elements of type "bullet list" now render as HTML lists in the preview.

### Harmonized menu element rendering {#harmonized-menu-element-rendering}

Preview rendering for menu content elements and "insert records" elements
has been harmonized to match the layout used in the record selector wizard.
This provides a consistent experience across different parts of the backend.

## Impact {#impact}

These enhancements improve the editorial experience in the TYPO3
backend by providing clearer, more informative content previews. Editors can now:

-   See formatted HTML content as it will appear to users
-   Quickly identify bullet list structure and content
