Editor problems and replacement

  • Hi
    Well there is a problem with TinyMce editor. When you need some simple stuff it’s ok but if i need to make some complex things (like tables or complex data on the page) it’s just a nightmare. Editor thinks that he knows what better html should be (or developers know) and will strip out tags ( empty for example) will replace things, will apply some stupid rules to html code that finally you get a mess. Example, you enter some paragraphs you look at html part there is no any html there but it is in final representation it’s just misleading behavior. You will see NOT what you get ! SO maybe there is a better editor out there ? or maybe there are some smart people that could make really goood editor for all of the millions of users of wordpress platform ? Are there any good (simple) editors via plugins out there in the meantime ?

  • do you use the html editor to input html?

    Also, do you ever switch bbetween html and visual? If so, stop. It’s a known issue with tinyMCE

    Yep i entered valid html and tinymce formated that html. So editor has some hidden rules when formatting visual to html. If you enter at the end of a line it will place p tag, if you shift+enter it inserts br tag. You can not see that in html tab if you switch to it but it appears only at the page if you open it in a browser. Moreover if you enter tag line and enter and then second tag line in html mode, editor will insert in that place(between that lines) p tag and you can see that only in the page opened- that’s weird behavior.
    After all only problem with html is that editor remove empty tags, tags without text in it but it can be helpful when you apply clearboth rule in css for example. So where to fix that in editor options ? May be there are other hidden filters when you insert table for example.
