Changes Overview
The style attribute merge does not work correctly in some cases. For example, if the inline style contains a link to a background image, a simple colon split of the string is not suitable for splitting the string into keys and values. This results in invalid styles.
I've updated the test for the mergeAttributes utility, it clearly shows which cases will not work correctly.
Implementation Approach
The styles property key is obtained by the first colon index, anything after it is considered a value. Only non-empty keys and values are included in the result.
Testing Done
Updated the test for the mergeAttributes utility, added several cases to check for corrupted styles, as well as styles with background images and font families.
Verification Steps
The problem is noticeable when adding custom attributes based on styles. In my work, I need to preserve styles from the input HTML as much as possible, since I'm working on a visual email editor.
