HTML sanitization is continued to be handled by the htmlSanitizer.See also: Breaking: #107438 - Default parseFunc configuration for Fluid Styled Content This object is used to parse some content for stuff like special typo tags, the [makelinks](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:makelinks@main)-things and so on... - [Properties](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:properties@main) - [Example](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:example@main) ## Properties {#properties} ### externalBlocks {#externalblocks} - **externalBlocks** - *Type:* list of tagnames / +properties This allows you to pre-split the content passed to parseFunc so that only content outside the blocks with the given tags is parsed. **Extra properties:** **.\[tagname\]** { - **callRecursive:** [boolean](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:data-type-boolean@main). If set, the content of the block is directed into parseFunc again. Otherwise the content is passed through with no other processing than [stdWrap](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:stdwrap@main) (see below). - **callRecursive.dontWrapSelf:** [boolean](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:data-type-boolean@main). If set, the tags of the block is *not* wrapped around the content returned from parseFunc. - **callRecursive.alternativeWrap:** Alternative wrapping instead of the original tags. - **callRecursive.tagStdWrap:** [stdWrap](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:stdwrap@main) processing of the block-tags. - **stdWrap:** [stdWrap](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:stdwrap@main) processing of the whole block (regardless of whether callRecursive was set.) - **stripNLprev:** [boolean](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:data-type-boolean@main). Strips off last line break of the previous outside block. - **stripNLnext:** [boolean](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:data-type-boolean@main). Strips off first line break of the next outside block. - **stripNL:** [boolean](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:data-type-boolean@main). Does both of the above. - **HTMLtableCells:** [boolean](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:data-type-boolean@main). If set, then the content is expected to be a table and every table-cell is traversed. Below, "default" means all cells and "1", "2", "3", ... overrides for specific columns. - **HTMLtableCells.\[default/1/2/3/...\]** { - **callRecursive:** [boolean](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:data-type-boolean@main). The content is parsed through current parseFunc. - **stdWrap:** [stdWrap](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:stdwrap@main) processing of the content in the cell. - **tagStdWrap:** -> The `` tag is processed by [stdWrap](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:stdwrap@main). - **HTMLtableCells.addChr10BetweenParagraphs:** [boolean](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:data-type-boolean@main). If set, then all appearances of `

` will have a `chr(10)` inserted between them. **Example** This example is used to split regular bodytext content so that tables and blockquotes in the bodytext are processed correctly. The blockquotes are passed into parseFunc again (recursively) and further their top/bottom margins are set to 0 (so no apparent line breaks are seen) The tables are also displayed with a number of properties of the cells overridden **EXT:site_package/Configuration/Sets/Main/setup.typoscript** ```typoscript tt_content.text.20.parseFunc.externalBlocks { blockquote.callRecursive = 1 blockquote.callRecursive.tagStdWrap.HTMLparser = 1 blockquote.callRecursive.tagStdWrap.HTMLparser { tags.blockquote.fixAttrib.style.list = margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0; tags.blockquote.fixAttrib.style.always = 1 } blockquote.stripNLprev = 1 blockquote.stripNLnext = 1 table.stripNL = 1 table.stdWrap.HTMLparser = 1 table.stdWrap.HTMLparser { tags.table.overrideAttribs = border="0" style="margin-top: 10px;" tags.tr.allowedAttribs = 0 tags.td.overrideAttribs = class="table-cell" style="font-size: 10px;" } } ``` ### short {#short} - **short** - *Type:* *(array of strings)* If this property is set, you can replace a char or word in your text with the value of the according constant. **Example** This replaces all occurrences of "T3" with "TYPO3 CMS" and "T3web" with a link to typo3.org. **EXT:site_package/Configuration/Sets/Main/setup.typoscript** ```typoscript page.10 = TEXT page.10.value = Learn more about T3, look here: T3web page.10.parseFunc.short { T3 = TYPO3 CMS T3web = typo3.org } # Output: Learn more about TYPO3 CMS, look here: typo3.org ``` ### plainTextStdWrap {#plaintextstdwrap} - **plainTextStdWrap** - *Type:* [stdWrap](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:stdwrap@main) This is [stdWrap](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:stdwrap@main) properties for all non-tag content. ### userFunc {#userfunc} - **userFunc** - *Type:* [function name](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:data-type-function-name@main) > [!IMPORTANT] > > > PHP functions called via TypoScript must now use the PHP > attribute #[AsAllowedCallable] > (\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Attribute\AsAllowedCallable). This passes the non-tag content to a function of your own choice. Similar to, for example, [](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:stdwrap-postuserfunc@main) in [stdWrap](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:stdwrap@main), or [typolink.userFunc](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:typolink-userfunc@main). ### nonTypoTagStdWrap {#nontypotagstdwrap} - **nonTypoTagStdWrap** - *Type:* [stdWrap](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:stdwrap@main) Like [plainTextStdWrap](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:parsefunc-plaintextstdwrap@main). Difference: `parsefunc-plainTextStdWrap` works on ALL non-tag pieces in the text. [nonTypoTagStdWrap](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:parsefunc-nontypotagstdwrap@main) is post processing of all text (including tags) between special TypoTags (unless `breakoutTypoTagContent` is not set for the TypoTag). ### nonTypoTagUserFunc {#nontypotaguserfunc} - **nonTypoTagUserFunc** - *Type:* [function name](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:data-type-function-name@main) > [!IMPORTANT] > > > PHP functions called via TypoScript must now use the PHP > attribute #[AsAllowedCallable] > (\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Attribute\AsAllowedCallable). Like [userFunc](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:parsefunc-userfunc@main). Differences is (like [nonTypoTagStdWrap](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:parsefunc-nontypotagstdwrap@main)) that this is post processing of all content pieces around TypoTags while `userFunc` processes all non-tag content. (Notice: `breakoutTypoTagContent` must be set for the TypoTag if it's excluded from `nonTypoTagContent`). ### makelinks {#makelinks} - **makelinks** - *Type:* [boolean](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:data-type-boolean@main) Convert web addresses prefixed with `http://` and mail addresses prefixed with `mailto:` to links. See [makelinks](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:makelinks@main) for additional properties. ### tags {#tags} - **tags** - *Type:* [tags](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:tags@main) Here you can define **custom tags** that will parse the content to something. ### allowTags {#allowtags} - **allowTags** - *Type:* list of strings or "\*" - *Default:* Empty lib.parseFunc.allowTags and lib.parseFunc_RTE.allowTags do not contain default values anymore. HTML sanitization is continued to be handled by the htmlSanitizer.See also: Breaking: #107438 - Default parseFunc configuration for Fluid Styled ContentHTML sanitization is handled by the htmlSanitizer in general. `allowTags` and `denyTags` can be used to further limit the allowed HTML tags. List of tags, which are allowed to exist in code, use "\*" for all. Security aspects are considered automatically by the HTML sanitizer, unless `htmlSanitize` is disabled explicitly. If a tag is found in `allowTags`, the corresponding tag in [denyTags](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:parsefunc-denytags@main) is ignored! **Example** The example allows any tag, except `` which will be encoded: **EXT:site_package/Configuration/Sets/Main/setup.typoscript** ```typoscript 10 = TEXT 10.value =

Example underlined text

10.parseFunc = 1 10.parseFunc { allowTags = * denyTags = u } ``` **Migration** If you need to allow specific HTML tags, fully configure the allowTags option without relying on prior default configuration: ```diff - lib.parseFunc_RTE.allowTags := addToList(wbr) + lib.parseFunc_RTE.allowTags = b,span,i,em,wbr.. ``` ### denyTags {#denytags} - **denyTags** - *Type:* list of strings List of tags, which may **not** exist in code! (use `*` for all.) Lowest priority: If a tag is **not** found in [allowTags](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:parsefunc-allowtags@main), `denyTags` is checked. If denyTags is not `*` and the tag is not found in the list, the tag may exist! **Example** This allows ``, ``, `` and `` -tags to exist: **EXT:site_package/Configuration/Sets/Main/setup.typoscript** ```typoscript tt_content.text.20.parseFunc { allowTags = b,i,a,img denyTags = * } ``` ### if {#if} - **if** - *Type:* [if](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:if@main) if "if" returns false, the input value is not parsed, but returned directly. ## Example {#example} This example takes the content of the field "bodytext" and parses it through the [makelinks](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:parsefunc-makelinks@main)-functions and substitutes all `` and ``-tags with something else. **EXT:site_package/Configuration/Sets/Main/setup.typoscript** ```typoscript tt_content.text.default { 20 = TEXT 20.stdWrap.field = bodytext 20.stdWrap.wrap = |
20.stdWrap.brTag =
20.stdWrap.parseFunc { makelinks = 1 makelinks.http.keep = path makelinks.http.extTarget = _blank makelinks.mailto.keep = path tags { link = TEXT link { stdWrap.current = 1 stdWrap.typolink.extTarget = _blank stdWrap.typolink.target = {$cLinkTagTarget} stdWrap.typolink.wrap =

|

stdWrap.typolink.parameter.data = parameters : allParams } typolist < tt_content.bullets.default.20 typolist.trim = 1 typolist.field > typolist.current = 1 } } } ```
