Need Help: How to exclude specific html tags from beeing cleaned up

Hi

I just bought a license for a text-to-speach software to read my forum posts to the user.

The software uses the following html tags to mark start and end of the text that should be read to the user:

<!-- RSPEAK_START -->

<!-- RSPEAK_STOP -->

I need this tags to be excluded when Cleanup HTML code is enabled.

I know that not many forum owners use this due to the expensive nature of the licenses
however I found at least one request for it in the forum so there is at least some demand.

I don't want to disable the cleanup html option.

I am no programmer unfortunately so I am lost here.

Any help would be much appreciated.

This is currently not supported. You will need to disable cleanup for that to function at this time.

I know that, you told me that in the support ticket.

That is why I am asking the community for help here.
Or is that not allowed?

If so I really need to rethink my opinion about vBSEO

StarBuG

Replied to your ticket.

Works perfect, thank you very much!

Now I don't need to rethink my opinion on vBSEO, you guys are still the best

Great, I'm glad that worked
For the reference, if someone will need the same functionality, functions_vbseo.php file should be modified:
1. find:

PHP Code:

$newtext = preg_replace(
array( '#(<pre[^>]*?>)(.*?)(</pre>)#sie', 


add above:

PHP Code:

preg_match_all('#(<!-- YOURTAG_START -->.*?<!-- YOURTAG_STOP -->)#is', $newtext, $exclm, PREG_SET_ORDER);
foreach($exclm as $xi=>$xc)$newtext = str_replace($xc[1], '[clean_excl'.$xi.']', $newtext); 


2. find:

PHP Code:

"\n"
),
$newtext); 


add below:

PHP Code:

foreach($exclm as $xi=>$xc)$newtext = str_replace('[clean_excl'.$xi.']', $xc[1], $newtext); 


Is there a new instruction (are the above passages now changed?)

$newtext = preg_replace(
array( '#(<pre[^>]*?>)(.*?)(</pre>)#eis',
'#>\s+<#s',
'#(<s(?:cript|tyle)[^>]*?>[^<]*?<!)--#si',
'#<!--(\s*(\[|\/?VBS|google_ad))#s',
'#<!--.*?-->#s',
'#<!js#',
'#\@vbseo_r_n\@#',
),

I beleive this code was for 3.5.2, so it should be very similar for 3.6 if not the same.
