Editor does its thing again

<p>I have changed the brackets, and inserted underscores in the style-keyword.</p>

<p>Now tell me again that your tinyMCE behaves the way it should.</p>

 

<p>I'm wondering if this doesn't explain something or other.<br>

Looks to me like the problem is the editor<em> the text is being composed in</em> rather than on this end.</p>

<p>Has that messy Microsoft look to it, but it's not the only sinner in this regard.</p>

<p>JDM,</p>

<p>The text is composed using the site's tinyMCE.</p>

<p>Here's another sample of how good it is:</p>

</blockquote>

<p>Again, brackets changed by me, and underscores inserted in key-words that would otherwise disappear due to tinyMCE.</p>

<p>Hmm. I presume you're looking at <em>source</em> material resulting from working in the entry box?</p>

<p>Here, let me see.</p>

<p>This is what I see in source that seems related to what I wrote above<br>

<p>I'm not sure where what you are showing comes from, although (as I already said) it has a suspicious Microsofty sort of look. Are you working in Windows with IE8 - is the editor in the system or the browser intruding itself? I'm not doubting your problem but can't seem to find where it is coming from on my Firrefox 3.6 on a Macintosh OS 10.5 system.</p>

<p>Here is what happens when I compose in Microsoft Word<br>

<p>Which is a little less messy, but not clean like a TextEdit text on a Mac.</p>

<p>JDM,</p>

<p>You have with success shown why noone in his right mind would consider using MS Word to edit anything for the web. Saying that Word sucks at it may be the understatement of the century.</p>

<p>Don't know why you have gone through the trouble though, since the problem is with Photonet's tinyMCE, and no other editor is involved.</p>

 

<p>Yes, I saw that, but like the others, I don't see anything like what is happening to you.</p>

<p>I was just trying out for myself to see if I could not duplicate the problem, so much as <em>compare</em> it -- wondering if it were some editor internal to your own particular setup that was 'getting in its licks, so to speak before the tinyMCE was kicking in.</p>

<p>Like the built-in editor in the Mac OS itself, I was wondering if Microsoft had something comparable that was doing this in <em>their</em> OS (thinking that any 'system' Microsoft editor might share peculiarities with Word.)</p>

<p>No matter. Just puzzling over it. Certainly Word is not the most elegantly done software in the world ! ;)</p>

 

The last & only time I tried to use "style" in the text entry box (without involving tinyMCE at all), "style" was turned into "s_t_y_l_e". Based solely on that, could it be that something, somehow is making the text entry (in tinyMCE) to go from WYSIWYG-ish to raw text which could not make then be converted back to WYSIWYG-ish view?
