Stripping styles from TinyMCE copy+paste?

Question

is there a way to strip specific tags from coming into tiny MCE through a copy+paste from an external source (e.g. Word)? I'd like to prevent font-family and image tags from being copy+pasted over, but have no problem with font-size etc.

Thank you!

Answer 1

You can't really stop someone from pasting something, so I believe your best bet would be to filter out the unwanted tags by calling a function on form submit, or onchange of the tiny MCE textarea. Then you could use some regular expression replacement to get rid of the unwanted tags.

EDIT: Actually there is a simple way. check the TinyMCE documentation.

I don't know how useful this will be, but you might want to take a look at this jQuery plugin which allows you to filter tags and attributed from the text your are pasting.
