Recently, the rich text editor has been making some annoying changes automatically. Mostly, I've noticed the automatic conversion of all '<' and '>' characters into the corresponding html entities, even where this is not needed. In a wiki with a lot of code, often containing quite a few '<' and '>' characters, this often makes tips unreadable when viewing the source.
Additionally, from http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Rich_text_editor I see the following: "Please note that the editor is not currently supported on the Safari, Opera and Chrome browsers" Since these are the three browsers I have used most often at home recently, that sentence holds a special level of "ugh" for me. John has reversed a few of these changes. I wonder if it is worth disabling the rich text editor entirely? From http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Rich_text_editor we see the following: "To disable the new editor for a single article you can use the special word __NOWYSIWYG__ (Note: The new editor system will still be loaded, but will be locked to 'source' mode.)" I imagine we could put this keyword in our TipNew, TipImported, and TipProposed templates as a quick way to mostly disable the rich text editor on our wiki, since these templates occur on almost every page where the rich text editor would cause problems. Thoughts, anyone? _______________________________________________ Vim-l mailing list Vim-l@wikia.com http://lists.wikia.com/mailman/listinfo/vim-l
