Products.cmfplone: Review captioned image markup

[rodfersou]

BUG/PROBLEM REPORT (OR OTHER COMMON ISSUE)

It looks like we need to define a new markup for captioned images. We suggest this one. And the fix would be as simple as change this template.

Is it possible to have this fixed on both Plone 4.3.x and Plone 5.x ?

What I did:

• Enable captioned image option at TinyMCE configlet.
• Create a News Item with image inside

What I expect to happen:

Have something like:

<div>
  <p>
    <dl>
      ... image markup ...
    </dl>
    Other text
  </p>
</div>

What actually happened:

The <p> content is kicked out because <dl> tag can't be inserted into the paragraph:

<div>
  <p></p>
  <dl>
    ... image markup ...
  </dl>
  Other text
</div>

This looks that lxml library has some code that try to fix our markup:

ipdb> lxml.html.tostring(lxml.html.fromstring('<p></p>'))
'<p></p>'
ipdb> lxml.html.tostring(lxml.html.fromstring('<p><dl></dl></p>'))
'<div><p></p><dl></dl></div>'

What version of Plone/ Addons I am using:

This bug happen on all Plone versions

captioned images should be inserted using the <figure> and <figcaption> tags; the problem is that, different from <img>, <figure> can't be placed inside a <p> tag.

the TinyMCE plugin that inserts the caption should move out of a paragraph any <img> tag before inserting it as a captioned image.

so, for instance:

<p>foo <img src="bar">.</p>

becomes:

<p>foo.</p>
<figure>
  <img src="bar" alt="bar">
  <figcaption>bar</figcaption>
</figure> 

or:

<figure>
  <img src="bar" alt="bar">
  <figcaption>bar</figcaption>
</figure> 
<p>foo.</p>

@hvelarde it looks like we need a special css to put the image in the middle of the paragraph

[hvelarde]

keep it simple: captioned images can not be used inside a paragraph; problem solved.

at Plone 4.3 we have: a configlet option linked to an utility to flag outputfilters to transform img tag

Also tinymce image plugin adds captioned class into the image (when the flag is turned on)

[rodfersou]

at Plone 5.1 we miss the configlet option, miss the utility, then outputfilters don't find the utility and assume False and never transform the img tag

Also new image plugin don't have the option to add captioned class into image

[rodfersou]

Still about Plone 5.1 from buildout.coredev, even if I add by hand the missing class at <img> tag and force the outputfilters flag to always return True the image is never show to News Item content type.

The image is never show with or without the outputfilters transform. It looks like it is took out of the generated HTML at other step of the save process.

[rodfersou]

If html filtering is disabled the image tag start showing at Plone 5.1.

This is a new bug since <img> tag is not listed to be filtered out.

@plone/framework-team can someone help here?

[rodfersou]

@hvelarde I think the level of this issue is not easy anymore

Just run ito this on Midsummer sprint while fixing tests.
But the good news is, that the transforms (safe_html) will work way better soon and also be in sync with TinyMCE. But the captions story seems to be broken too.
It's probably a good idea to create the new markup and find a way to either build the right markup in TinyMCE or refacture the caption transform in outputfilter to do it right.
But we disable the style attribute by default now, so we should use it here.
I think it should be doable without these specific styles.

Keep in mind a11y ticket #2836 - hopefully not making it difficult to eventually implement that. W3C's Techniques for providing useful text alternatives page has lots of markup examples.
