Maybe a dumb follow-up question, but I just don't know much about web server security:

Why does sanitization have to care about in-document style information?

Hi Wolfgang,

As a security measure, we added sanitization by default of content displayed as HTML.  Local galaxy administrators can use the display whitelist (left side of the admin window) to configure 'safe' applications, which will then no longer be sanitized on display.  Let me know if this doesn't solve the problem for you!

    until recently extra html files linked from html datasets got

    Is downloading the zipped data and opening it locally now the only

    Have a nice weekend,
