Text justification on submitted patterns

I just saw Dawn's pattern for the first time. I know you're responded to her issue with the photo; I'm still confused about how image uploads work. But that's not what I'm writing about. Why, do you think, are there carriage returns in odd places in her text? Is this a tinyMCE bug? If so, do you know how to fix it? Also, I see the emoticons, but they also seem to display with a carriage return, so that the smiley shows up on the next line when it should be inline. I can't think of how this might be CSS related, but I'll be playing with CSS to eliminate the border around emoticons...

The smileys showing up on a new line are definitely a CSS issue. They also have a border around them. My guess is that somewhere you have a line like:

display: block

in your CSS for images showing up in ... something. Or it might be a display and float issue (see how the images are sort of stacked?... i.e. not on the same line?)

In other news: little things like this can make tinyMCE way more hassle than it's actually worth....

Is there another rich text editor option?

The weird line breaks are because it's a copy/paste from another site. This happens. There's no real way around it, and to be honest any good text editor should preserve line breaks.

TinyMCE is the best of the bunch (according to those I've asked about such things).... Here are a few other suggestions (although the review is OLD):

There's probably more on Drupal.org, but the load balancer is b0rked.

Let's stick with tinyMCE. I have an odd attachment to it, anyway. And hey, it'll only get better over time, right?

Agreed.

Kim: if this thread is now "resolved" (even if it's just let it be resolved that tinyMCE is sometimes "good enough") can you move it over to the "resolved" pile? (Edit the original post and change the category in the drop-down menu.) Thanks!

I might leave this here for a bit till I have time to look into the stupid narrowness.

stupid narrowness is fixed.
