Insert EPiFields phrases as inline elements

Vote:
 
I am looking into using EPiFields for handling som text phrases that I want to be able to insert into text paragraphs. As far as I can see, EPiFields phrases are alwas inserted surrounded by a
element. I would like to be able to change that to a element. Is there a (hopefully) simple way to achieve this?

A clarification: I can get it to VISUALLY display inline, using CSS. This is obviously not a good solution when you want a truly accessible website.

Never mind ;-) It appears that EPiFields converts removes the
tags when rendering the page, although they are visible in the editor in EPiServer.

Hi Maria! As you've noticed, the encapsulating

I have, however, encoutered a problem with this. When the text in the editor is surrounded by bleck-level elements, e.g.

...

, and an EPiFields field is inserted into the paragraph, the editor logic is so clever (stupid?) that it breaks the paragraph into two paragraphs on each side of the
...
inserted by EPiFields. This makes it quite useless. I have a customer who would really benefit from using EPiFields for inline phrases. How can this problem be overcome?

Hi Maria! We recommend you to use
instead of

-tags together with EPiFields just to prevent the behavior you describe. There is a setting in Admin-mode that forces the editor to favor

instead of

tags. Regards Johan Olofsson
