# Breaking: #72667 - RTE: Unused internal methods removed {#breaking-72667}

See [forge#72667](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/72667)

## Description {#description}

The HTML parsing features for the Rich Text Editor feature related to
xhtml_cleaning have been removed. The following now obsolete methods have been
removed as well:

-   `HtmlParser->checkTagTypeCounts()`
-   `HtmlParser->unprotectTags()`
-   `HtmlParser->get_tag_attributes_classic()`
-   `HtmlParser->cleanFontTags()`
-   `HtmlParser->indentLines()`

Additionally, the third parameter for the method `HtmlParser->getAllParts()` has been removed, resulting that the method will always include
the parsed tags in the result set.

## Impact {#impact}

Calling any of the methods will result in a fatal PHP error.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Any installation which uses a third-party extension that modifies the HtmlParsing via PHP.
