Formats: all styles are set with span tags

  • Hi,

    i’ve got a big problem with the new tinymce advanced. each and every time i set a format on any text object, the format is inserted with a span tag. this makes it quite hard for me. for example if you use a headline and want to style this headline with a format, this doesnt work anymore because of the span tag.

    Could you help me out? Probably this could only be addressed with an update..?

    Greetings, Martin

    This depends on the actual TinyMCE code, can’t change it from this plugin. Maybe check their support forum for more info: https://www.tinymce.com/forum/index.php

    I have the same problem. The only way the plugin could solve it would be by parsing the editor-styles.css file and offering choices about how to handle each class using the techniques here:

    Which would be awesome, but fairly complicated to implement. I think I’m just going to hand-code it into my theme.

    Yeah, far too complex to include as setting in TinyMCE Advanced, unfortunately. Most users won’t understand what it is about or how to use it.

    Making a small WP plugin to handle that setting would be best. Can be hard-coded in the theme too, but is less flexible.
