invalid-attr.md

invalid-attr

Remove unwanted attributes from all elements unless the element is marked as an exception. List the attributes that should be removed and their exceptions in the config file.

The config file should contain the following section:

[invalid-attr]
some-attribute = elem1
other-attribute =
third-attribute = elem1, elem2

List the (localnames of) elements where an attribute should not be removed after the equals sign. To exclude multiple elements, separate them by comma. If an attribute should be removed from all elements, leave the space after the equals sign empty.

Example

Config section:

[invalid-attr]
class=msItem
datetime=

    <list class='ul'>
      <item datetime='dd-mm-yyyy'/>
    </list>
  </div>
