    If I enter into edit in NewSmug the html tags are removed on legacy and I have to keep adding them back in.
    At least in the past. Looking now and testing I see it now completely borks my legacy description.

    WARNING: If you have not unveiled do not do any gallery description editing in NewSmug. Switch to
    legacy and do it there. Luckily I have two galleries with the almost identical html description so I can
    recover but it will take a few hours.

    I thought if one wanted HTML as the gallery description, one needed to add an HTML block, and not work in the gallery description per se. Is my understanding incorrect?

    I often have HTML in my gallery descriptions in the form of a link to a set of blog posts. That continues to work in new smug - with the exception that adding <html> and </html> tags is not needed.

    I also use HTML in photo captions.

    Things from legacy do work in NewSmug as long as you don't try to edit. My legacy description html
    looked fine in NewSmug until I went in and add something like xx in the text and saved. Then the
    whole thing blew up. In my case I was using tables in legacy which looked fine in NewSmug but not after
    entering edit. Striped it all out.

    I think one is not supposed to use html in new SM gallery descriptions.
    Because I see much broken HTML in legacy galleries currently, I've assumed I need to reproduce my html in html blocks in new SM.

    Maybe small things like links work but I don't understand that either.

    Does SM have a posted page on what format or rules apply to gallery descriptions in new SM?

    HTML still works in description and captions.

    I don't think there is a supposed to or not supposed to here - HTML works in gallery descriptions and in photo captions in new smug.

    But - the HTML must be correct now where legacy smug let some incorrect syntax through.

    Hi Denise,
    Could you please give me an example of a working peice of HTML in a caption?

    My legacy captions contained this type of comment below, but will not work in the new Smugmug?

    <html>
    <br></br>
    <object width="300" height="42"><param name="src" value="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50808807/Australian%20Wood%20Duck.mp3"><param name="autoplay" value="false"><param name="controller" value="true"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed height="42" width="300" src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50808807/Australian%20Wood%20Duck.mp3" bgcolor="#9FB6CD" controller="true" loop="false" autostart="false"></object>
    </html>

    Thanks,
    Colin.

    Thanks for the super quick response Lamah,

    Before I go and test out a different way how about the <audio> tag in Html5?

    ... and if this is not supported either, can you please suggest a different approach to playing a sound from a caption/picture?

    Thanks,
    Colin

    HTML5 <audio> and <video> tags aren't supported either. Not, I think, because SmugMug explicitly wants to block them, but simply because they haven't had many requests to turn them on yet. If you want the <video> tag, add a comment to my feature request here:

    http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=242015

    If you want <audio> tags to be supported, I would suggest posting a request to the feature request forum too.

    It is currently impossible to play sound from captions or pictures.

    I just wanted to change the color of some text in a gallery description (there were already some words between the <FONT COLOR="#DEF38D"> xxxxxxxx </FONT> tags) and after clicking 'done', ALL my text colors in the gallery description were gone (even the ones that after migration in September showed up); just the bold (<B> xxx </B>) tags were saved and now there is no colored text anymore in the gallery description....

    It's about the http://lucdejaeger.smugmug.com/Personal/My-Ultimate-Collection/n-HRxtc gallery.

    Interestingly, the gallery descriptions of all the other (unchanged) migrated galleries still show colored texts...<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/eek7.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >

    Something is wrong here. It seems the gallery description, after editing, still does not save all HTML codes...<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/headscratch.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >cry

    Hi Luc.

    It's a long-shot, but you might find that it's dependent on the gallery type - I've found that some HTML in captions that works in Lightbox, SmugMug-style and Journal, won't work in Collage Landscape, Collage Portrait and Thumbnail. See http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=240216 for an example of how italics are treated.

    Helpdesk were going to escalate this problem to the technical department but I've no idea if they actually did - I've had no feedback regarding this matter.

    I've also asked to see the HTML whitelist for content blocks - see http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=244052 - maybe that'll help us to find out why some of our HTML doesn't stick there and in other places?
    Yippee ki-yay, footer-muckers!
