The "Advanced Property Editor" window eats the spaces on the "Value" field if the "class" attribute is selected. I think this is a very-easy-to-solve problem, and will help me a lot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open composer (Ctrl-Shift-N) 2. Right-click on <body> element on status bar, select "Advanced Properties" 3. Select "class" on "Attribute" field ("HTML Attributes" tab) 4. Write two words separated by a whitespace on the "Value" field. Actual Results: The space is removed, and the two words are joined. Expected Results: The two class names not being joined. From: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#h-7.5.2 7.5.2 Element identifiers: the id and class attributes (...) class = cdata-list [CS] This attribute assigns a class name or set of class names to an element. Any number of elements may be assigned the same class name or names. Multiple class names must be separated by white space characters.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Currently composer is limiting a class (name) as it does for an id, disallowing any punctuation including spaces. What (if any) rules should a class name have?
This is ok for id, because an element should have at most one single id, and it should be unique for the entire document. An element can have as many classes as needed, separated by spaces, inside the class attribute. Any other punctuation should be disallowed. If you change the class attribute manually (editing the HTML code), Composer renders it OK.

Removes all restrictions on class attribute.
