Autocomplete attribute doesn’t allow multiple tokens

    Such as in modules/textarea.php:

    $atts['autocomplete'] = $tag->get_option(
    	'autocomplete', '[-0-9a-zA-Z]+', true
    );

    The regex does not allow spaces. However, according to the MDN documentation on the autocomplete attribute (emphasis mine):

    The attribute value is either the keyword off or on, or an ordered list of space-separated tokens.

    And also gives an example with space-separated tokens:

    <input autocomplete="section-user1 billing postal-code" />

    It would be nice if the space character could be valid somehow please. Thank you!

    You’re right. It should allow multiple tokens in an autocomplete attribute.

    That said, you can’t simply allow whitespaces in the regex pattern since a whitespace works as a separator in form-tag options.

    This issue is being fixed in the next release. You can separate tokens with |, like this: autocomplete:section-user1|billing|postal-code
