The longevity of this issue is noted. That was confusing. Requests are so similar I thought I was looking at my 2021 report. <a href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145264";>145264</a> has been marked resolved. Back to the issue, I'll summarize by voting that this HTML format feature shouldn't exist, duplicating menu and tool bar or not: Pro: - once inside an HTML text file, togging text to WYSIWYG is handy Cons: - badly implemented menu control was my main reason for stepping in here - little gain from ten lines of boilerplate - forcing user new file awkward - little gain from HTML file extension if not editable by Writer - help file literally incorrect on re-open detail - long history of users confusing this issue Anybody editing HTML would save a text version of their source as their platform would likely have a different application associated with an HTML extension, also, a browser open to view and refresh edits as the proof in the pudding. I might still like the idea of toggling views, but its utility is so minimal I don't feel it justifies the confusion. If doubling down, the goal should be to have any existing HTML file toggle to text on demand, for editing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
