Item9303: HTML2TML removes JQuery chili classes

JQueryPlugin is now part of the standard Foswiki installation and it comes with the chili jQuery plugin, which is activated using a set of classes.

However, a roundtrip-edit through the wysiwyg editor removes those classes.

The JQueryChili documentation states that the class should be applied to a verbatim block. This is good practice, but the plugin will work on a pre block, too, and so HTML2TML should also support these classes for blocks that are not verbatim.

To do: add unit tests

Also todo:

• Give TMCE the ability to apply these styles

Ah - I added a unit test for <verbatim class="tml"> under Item2254.

And we can now apply these styles via the context menu. Hmmm. It ought to be possible to turn the VERBATIM entry in the format menu into a sub-menu. I must figure out how to do that. Problems:

1. The list for formats is a preference and it does not (yet) support nested menus, and
2. It is not clear if the editor should extract the list of classes from the preference, or if it should see the TMLverbatim enty in the preference and turn that into a sub-menu, or some other way. The first way looks promising.

It isn't possible to add a sub-menu in the format list, because the format list is a listbox and not a menu

I think this needs another control. And the editor should warn if any of the chili-highlighting styles are used but the topic doesn't contain %JQREQUIRE{chili}%. I am loathe to add chili-highlighting-VERBATIM entries to the format list until there is a way to add %JQREQUIRE{chili}% easily. I am going to leave this as-is. It might be best to extend the TMCE GUI to do chili-stuff with a plugin.
