TinyMCE aligning code invalid (XHTML 1.0 Strict/1.1)

[jonthejester]

When a person tries to align a block of text in the TinyMCE rich content textarea, TinyMCE gives the text an html attribute of 'align="..."'--for example:

<p align="center">Block of text.</p>

While this is valid in XHTML 1.0 Transitional, this isn't for 1.0 Strict or 1.1. Ideally it should be an inline style, like, say:

<p style="text-align: center;">Block of text.</p>

I tried setting the inline_styles parameter to "true" in wp-admin/tinymce/tiny_mce_src.js, but unfortunately that hasn't changed the current behavior. Any help here?

Well, in answer to my own problem, I forgot to add "style" to, and remove "align" from, p[...] and div[...] under "valid_elements" in TinyMCE.prototype.init . I have the file attached now with those fixes, as well as setting inline_styles to "true".

There might be other invalid attributes to snip, I don't know, but that's beyond the scope of this ticket. Just please get these fixes in soon. :)
