Question Answer
JIRA issue EZP-31321, related to EZP-29882
Required by ezsystems/ezplatform-admin-ui#1151
Bug/Improvement yes
New feature no
Target version 1.1
BC breaks no
Tests pass yes
Doc needed no

The original fix for this issue was ezsystems/ezplatform-admin-ui#746. Which fixed the symptoms, but introduced zero-width spaces. Which are causing serious issues in
ezsystems/ezplatform-admin-ui#1034, and seems to be a nice reason for some very strange bugs in the future.

Before posting this PR, we checked the original issue to understand the reasons why it was happening. So the case is:

  1. The user creates new content with a rich text field. That field contains just an inline embed.
  2. The content is published and rendered fine.
  3. But when the same content is edited - inline embed is not picked by the online editor.

It happens because, in this case, the HTML which is passed to OE contains just a paragraph and child's span element, without any child content. And OE skips such kind elements during widgets upcasting. Adding a zero-width space makes that paragraph a non-empty element so its child's span is checked for widgets upcasting. But zero-width space adds additional complexity and might cause more serious issues/bugs. That's why our solution seems to be more simple and predicted. It just adds "ao-upcast-placeholder" placeholder in the described scenario. So span element for inline embed is not ignored if its parent has no and text nodes, and it is upcasted.

This doesn't make much sense to me. What is ao-upcast-placeholder and why I would want to expose this in OE? Is this shown as attribute value?

Sorry, I just choose this placeholder and made a type there. It should be ae-upcast-placeholder. Basically its value does not matter at all. It just needs to be some non-space characters. It is passed only to OE, and so AlloyEditor upcasts the widget for it.
Without this placeholder, there will be following HTML in the editor:

...
<p><span some-custom-tag-attributes /></p>
...

And AlloyEditor will ignore that custom tag span for widget upcasting. The point is to get some paceholder within the span:

...
<p><span some-custom-tag-attributes>ao-upcast-placeholder</span></p>
...

And in this case, the custom tag span will be upcasted and transformed to the widget. It's widget will not contain the placeholder text at all.

@alongosz should we change the placeholder text? Do you have any better suggestions for that?

Zero width space seems to also cause some issues with Solr indexing:

org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Illegal character ((CTRL-CHAR,&#8203; code 14))

It seems that oe-upcast-placeholder would be better, "ao" doesn't mean anything to me.
I'll commit it and rebase.
