XSS filter triming attribute name="class" in "a" tag of rich text editor

[Vish2]

Hello All,

I am trying to edit the HTML in rich text editor. I am trying to add a class attribute to anchor tag but somehow the class is not being added.

My assumption is that XSS filter is disabling this. Could you please help me with this?

The article [1] is an example of target attribute to configure xss. On similar line you can modify xss as per your requirement.

When you say 'modify the HTML' - do you mean you want to modify the style of the RTE text - can you please provide more details? 

Have you read AEM docs on configuring the RTE:

Hello Donald,

When I say I am editing HTML, I mean to edit using misctools plugin.

< a href="# "  class="fancy-box"> </a> 

I am trying to add a class in <a> tag, as shown above. I save the changes and preview the page. I don't see the result as expected but when I open the RTE again to see the class is there. I am not sure why ?
