Extra characters on input

Rhythmyx Technical Discussion

I know you can clean up text in the Ephox fields, but is there a way to trim spaces that content publishers are entering into title fields?

For instance, they are cut and pasting from a word document or spreadsheet and manage to capture extra spaces, which are entered into the field.

I see how to trim() them on the output in the template. My question is has anyone found a way to control by removing them before they are input?

Jeff,

You can add the sys_Trim or sys_TrimString input translations to the fields. These translations trim leading and trailing whitespace on the input value for the field. See pp. 29-30 of the Technical Reference (Version 6.7 link) for details about these translation extensions.
