WYSIWYG line spacing

Post by fashionair »

I'm using the release version 0.3.

It seems like the WYSWIYG editor does not do a very good job handling line spacing. I'll put hard returns in to seperate paragraphs, but after I submit it all the text ends up bunched together. Anyone noticed this?

nobody is really using or maintaining the wysiqyg editor, unfortunately, so, please use the regular interface if possible...

Thanks, it might be a good idea to mention that somewhere or discourage it somehow....perhaps it's that way in the CVS versions...

To adjust those statements: I try to maintain the WYSIWYG editor. It has some bugs, because we use htmlarea to rely on, and its active development is somewhat behind...

Hi Garvin

Htmlarea really isn't the best wysiwyg editor any more. I'm getting really annoyed with all the bugs, i.e. the line spacing one. How about using fckeditor instead: http://www.fckeditor.net/

It's cross browser and much better.

I would vote for that...

Played a bit around with it looks more solid and does good HTML Formating.
He just doesnt linebreak \n in the source but whocares.

FCKeditor is less easier to adjust and customize, but htmlarea is. The integration of our image manager and stuff like that is harder to do with FCKeditor.

And after all, I don't work with WYSIWYG tools, so I'm not really motivated enough to do work on that. Any help on doing that is welcome, though. And it should not be hard to switch htmlarea with FCKEditor.

And FCKEditor is not really Cross-Browser, it doesn't work in Opera. ;)
