And it was the correct decision (Björns mail was stuck in cyberspace for quite a while btw). The problem is that even when you disable the WYSIWYG editor, it still destroys what you write, thus making it completely unusable. While there is a magic string you can put into a wiki page to prevent the editor from loading, this won't help the cases where people are just doing a minor edit like fixing a typo and don't pay attention to the rest, thus they don't even notice that their edit breaks the whole page because the editor is "too smart". > Maybe Manuel or Christian can investigate. I had a quick look, and I don't really like the design - compared to tinyMCE it is much more confusing... Given that christmas is coming, then the bug hunting session, then new years celebrations.... I don't really see a chance before January. > I recall there was a setting to > disable the editor for everyone, unless they explictly activate it in the > preferences. It is not about a personal preference whether the editor suits one's likings or not. So this is not a solution. If it would let the stuff it doesn't understand alone, then it would work. but just loading it messes it up completely. So "typo fixes"/minor edits by people with the editor enabled can mess up the whole page. - That's a nogo. And while I know what Björn's problem/concern was that made him write the mail (the <feed> URLs from the EasyHacks extension) - I don't know what problem there was that broke the Brazilian page. Could be that breaking the site was also due to the editor, could be that it was just coincidence. Before it is not understood what stuff it breaks, I won't reenable the editor. So @Olivier - what tags/constructs did the editor destroy/what stuff did you have to recover in your pages? ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
