The solutions I thought was to create a custom tag similar to the literal one, that instead keep unescaped only the tag <object>, <param> and <embed>. But I'm encountering some difficulties to do so. Why this drastic solutions? Well, essentially because there's not only you tube, and there's not only flash. Some hints of you? I do not have much problem creating a custom tags, but I'm unfamiliar with Exponential. The problem above could be easly solved using the php function strip_tags, but I still do not understand how ezp works. What is given to me as param of the custom tag? the original text or an already escaped/transformed one? there will be no problem with the embed tags, that Exponential already use?
