Survey: Abandon TinyMCE Configuration

1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

The configuration of the TinyMCE is not maintained at the moment and offers too much HTML features that are hard to secure on output. If the Replace TinyMCE with Page Editor in Survey will not get funded, the configuration will be removed and the only the minimal version used in the exercise, too, will be provided (strong, emph, lists).

Tiny is currently used for the introduction page, final statement and question text.

The use of Tiny for headings will be removed completely.

2 Technical Information

As soon as the settings are edited the unsupported tags will be removed. A later version will output-escape strictly to the minimal set.
