In Collibra, html tags can be added in the following locations:
- Dashboard Text widgets via the HTML Editor.
- Text editors, if the HTML Editor is available.
Unsupported html tags in the HTML Editor
The HTML Editor allows for advanced styling and supports most html tags.
However, the following tags are not supported in the HTML Editor, and are automatically removed when you save the HTML code:
- body
- button
- form
- head
- html
- input
- link
- meta
- script
- select
- svg
- textarea
- title
- The HTML Editor in the dashboard Text widget supports iframes. However, this can potentially allow an attacker to run an XSS attack by injecting malicious HTML. To improve security, you can have the following HTML elements automatically removed via the Prevent advanced html features in text dashboard setting in Collibra Console.
- frame
- frameset
- iframe
- Any event handlers
For more information, go to Security configuration.
- The <style> tag affects only elements in the related text editor area, such as the text widget or attribute.
