Anchor tag and id issue

[tc82]

Am seeing some issues with anchor tag in AEM rich text editor.

IN RTE if i use the the following:

<a href="test.com"> testing</a> -- Works well, href exists all the time.

second case:

<a href="test.com" id="test"> testing</a>

in source edit once you try to edit again, it becomes

<a  id="test"> testing</a> -- Doesn't work well, href is removed .

I have tried changing the  following file:

/apps/cq/xssprotection/config.xml

but nothing helped.

Has anyone seen this issue.

You can use the link icon for hyperlinking.

Here the concept of the anchor tag is placeholder hyperlink. To jump to a location within a page.

Here is the helpx article with package to do testing:- Configuring Experience Manager Rich Text Editor Plugins in a Touch UI Component Dialog

kautuksahni​ We can try using that, but when users dump the whole html in the source edit, this issues is hard to resolve.
