# Breaking: #72666 - RTE: Remove relative path calculations {#breaking-72666}

See [forge#72666](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/72666)

## Description {#description}

Since the removal of the feature editing static files with the Rich Text Editor (option "static_file_edit"), the path calculations for files
within the HtmlParser including the method `RteHtmlParser->setRelPath()` have been removed as well.

## Impact {#impact}

Using the method `RteHtmlParser->setRelPath()` will result in a fatal PHP error.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Any installations with custom RTE transformations that use a custom implementation of the RteHtmlParser PHP class.
