Hi,
I'm new to the list, so hope this is the right place for my question.
Feel free to redirect me to more appropriate one if it's not.
In the content editing mode is there a way to programmatically select
_outer_ representation of a HTML tag, e.g. <p>, so that when we call one
of the replaceSelectionWith*() methods, the selected tag is replaced as
a whole?
I'm trying to use setSelectedDOMRange() like this:
DOMRange* range = ...;
range->setStartBefore(paragraphToReplace);
range->setEndAfter(paragraphToReplace);
webView->replaceSelectionWithNode(replacementParagraph);
But this has unpleasant side effects: any adjacent tags are merged into
the newly inserted paragraph. And this can be quite annoying as it
would happily convert any adjacent <h1> into <span>, while preserving
the look, but not semantics of HTML.
I understand this happens because in its internals WebKit uses visual
caret positions, so selecting past the end of a <p> contents inevitably
wraps upto contents of any following tag.
But what can I do about that? I cannot seem to find a workaround even
after stepping through WebCore code for a few days now.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
