contenteditable=plaintext-onlyジェネレーターとは
The contenteditable=plaintext-only attribute creates an HTML element that users can edit, but unlike contenteditable=true which accepts rich text formatting (bold, italic, colors, fonts), plaintext-only strips all formatting on paste. When a user copies formatted text from Word, Google Docs, or a web page and pastes it into a plaintext-only editor, the pasted content is plain text only -- no HTML tags, no inline styles, no font formatting. This behavior is built into the browser and requires zero JavaScript.
クイックアンサー
Use contenteditable=plaintext-only to create editable regions that accept plain text only -- pasting formatted content strips all HTML tags and inline styles automatically. No JavaScript needed. Supported in Chrome 120+, Edge 120+, Safari 17.4+, and Firefox 136+. Degrades gracefully to rich text editing in older browsers. The generated HTML includes placeholder CSS, focus styles, ARIA attributes, and optional fallback detection.
制限事項
- Not supported in Firefox before version 136. The attribute degrades to contenteditable=true gracefully, so users on older Firefox versions see a rich text editor instead of a plain-text editor. Add a JavaScript paste interceptor as a safety net for these users.
- plaintext-only is an all-or-nothing approach -- it does not support allowing some formatting (like line breaks) while blocking others (like bold or fonts). For selective filtering, you need a custom solution with the beforeinput event.
- Browser implementations may differ in edge cases -- for example, how trailing whitespace, multiple spaces, or unusual Unicode characters are handled on paste. Test with the types of content your users are most likely to paste.
使い方
- Choose the editor mode: plaintext-only (strips all formatting on paste) or regular contenteditable (preserves rich text). Generate HTML for either mode or both with a side-by-side comparison.
- Configure placeholder text that appears when the editor is empty, and customize the placeholder CSS color and styling to match your design.
- Set focus styles: outline, border color, or box-shadow that activates when the editor receives focus. Include ARIA labels for screen reader accessibility.
- Copy the generated HTML markup. The tool provides a complete, self-contained snippet with associated CSS that handles fallback detection for browsers that do not yet support plaintext-only.
主な用途
- Comment fields and discussion forums where users should not be able to paste formatted text that breaks the page layout or introduces hidden HTML.
- Code snippet inputs or configuration editors where raw text is expected and rich formatting is unwanted noise.
- Internal note-taking tools or CMS plain-text descriptions where formatting adds complexity without benefit.
