Question

A webflow export with apostrophes as html property values will break stanza update

Opened this issue 8 years ago · 5 comments

<input autofocus="autofocus" class="input-field w-input" data-name="What's your address?" id="What-s-your-address" maxlength="256" name="What-s-your-address" placeholder="What's your address?" required="required" type="text">

In the case of a designer setting up a placeholder with a apostrophe the output webflow ends up using an html entity value which in turn breaks reacterminator from doing an update.

I'm not sure what the best solution here is but it would seem it would be to ask the designer not to use apostrophe's but in the case of trying to provide correct grammar for a input placeholder you would want this. Any ideas @Chun-Yang?

This is related to the the html parser I think. For now let's not use html entities there.

@Chun-Yang so then the expected solution is for a third party aka a developer to convert these by hand before doing an update?

Also I can move this issue to reacterminator if you would like I just put it here since it applies to how webflow does an export.

That would be great 👍

Reacterminator should fix it eventually. Ideally it should only be an option in the parser in reacterminator
