Dear Kenneth: I will happily concede that it is entirely possible I am doing something wrong. But, that is why you have this forum, isn't it? More than once I have referenced my desire for a 'knowledgeable' response.
My use of color and underline in the email - as opposed to say, my Mezzanine project - was purely for emphasis. That, too, is why people have rich text editors, is it not? And if it is so universally hard to read, why are these options universally available? One could argue that these features make a document easier to read, by highlighting - a word commonly used to describe the use of color - the various points of emphasis. You have correctly understood my question. However, it doesn't matter if you have done a dozen million deployments in the past. It is not working for me in the present, and that is the only question on the table. It has not 'just worked', or I wouldn't be here, taking up both your and my valuable time, would I? And, forgive me, but a brief criticism: My goal is to have color in my text. So, contrary to your statement, you are very clear about my goals. You obviously don't agree with them, or you would not have added your 'yuck' to your commentary, but the need for color in my use case is both clear and essential to me, so your aesthetic values are irrelevant - unless, of course, they 'color' your view of me, my question, my project, and whether or not I deserve an answer. Finally, you ask if I am modifying 'RICH_TEXT_FILTER_LEVEL' in the "proper" place, and give a model url. This is what I have been looking for: actionable diagnostic advice. It may be the correct diagnosis or it might not, but it is actionable and it is relevant to the issue I am having, unlike a cultural critique or anything else I have gotten so far. The short answer is no, I have not looked here. Silly me, I looked in the files themselves, files like tinymce_setup.js, sanitizer.py,, 'mezzanine.core.forms.TinyMceWidget', /mezzanine/utils/html.py, and /mezzanine/core/defaults.py. And, speaking of the latter, if you looked you would see that my line 338 now reads: "default=RICHTEXT_FILTER_LEVEL_NONE," because I changed it to that, but this was also ineffective. ] So, now that I have your diagnostic tip, I have indeed gone to the url you suggested, and changed the setting to 'Low'. I got the little signal at the top that said my changes had been made, I went to my editor, I put in: *This is a test.* *This is also a test.* 08/21/2017 and guess what I got on my site? Nothing! *This is a test. * *This is also a test. * 08/21/2017 I even restarted the server, just to be sure. Same result. Any more diagnostic tips?
