Parent Tag

[controlnocontrol]

Is it possible to specify a parent tag?

E.g. something like:

"example": {
	"args": {
		"parentClass": "parent"
		"tag": "div",
		"class": "child"
	}
}

will produce

<div class="parent">
	<div class="child">text</div>
	<div class="child">text</div>
	<div class="child">text</div>
</div>

This syntax might be cleaner and allow choice of tags and classes as well as multiple nesting:

"example": {
	"args": {
		"tag": "div",
		"class": "parent",
		"args": {
			"tag": "p",
			"class": "child"
		}
	}
}

This would also be helpful for customizing unordered lists:

"check bullet": {
	"args": {
		"tag": "ul",
		"class": "checked",
		"args": {
			"tag": "li"
		}
	}
}

@ohbiko thanks for the interesting suggestion. Do you know if Redactor allows nested block level elements at all, and how the Formatting feature (h1, p, etc.) behaves when a nested element, for example div in div, is selected? I have a feeling that the API doesn’t really support it.

@jasonmckinney66 I also came across this issue recently that you can’t configure a button to add classes to a ul tag. According to docs this should work, but it does not.

"specialList": {
  "api": "module.block.format",
  "args": {
    "tag": "ul",
    "class": "align-right"
  }
}

You can also replicate with a formattingAdd configuration, which uses the same API.
