Title: Because I care
Post by: Spriggan on October 12, 2007, 06:06:15 AM

Rich text editing has been installed, finally, for the main site.

This means that for blogs, articles, reviews and blurbs you do not have to enter any HTML at all into anything you submit, you can just copy from word and be done with it or type it directly into the form and format it the way you want.

HTML fans can click the "Source" button and edit that way as well.

To paste directly from Microsoft Word Please use the "Paste from Word" button so we get rid of magic quotes.

Ideally I want to make the styles drop down contain stuff from our style guide.

Also note that if you try to edit ANY articles that have bad HTML it will try to fix the HTML and add a bunch of code that will need to be cleaned up.  I learned this by trying to fix SE's bad bold tags in his recent blog post, he didn't have proper <p> tags I think.

yay Sprig! You are awesome!

Did I do BBCode instead of HTML? I didn't think I'd done anything wrong, but as soon as you mentioned bad bold tags I reckoned that's what I did.
