# Breaking: #72686 - Removed RteHtmlParser methods {#breaking-72686}

See [forge#72686](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/72686)

## Description {#description}

The following methods within `RteHtmlParser` have been removed without substitution:

-   `RteHtmlParser->siteUrl()`
-   `RteHtmlParser->getUrl()`

The second method parameter of the following methods have been removed as they have no effect anymore:

-   `RteHtmlParser->HTMLcleaner_db()`
-   `RteHtmlParser->getKeepTags()`

## Impact {#impact}

Calling either `RteHtmlParser->siteUrl()` or `RteHtmlParser->getUrl()` will result in a PHP fatal error.

Calling `RteHtmlParser->HTMLcleaner_db()` or `RteHtmlParser->getKeepTags()` with a second parameter will have no effect anymore.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

TYPO3 instances which use RteHtmlParser methods directly within a third-party extension for HTML transformation.

## Migration {#migration}

Use `GeneralUtility::getUrl()` instead of `RteHtmlParser->getUrl()`.

Use `GeneralUtility::getIndpEnv('TYPO3_SITE_URL')` instead of `RteHtmlParser->siteUrl()`.
