Printer-friendly version

I can go into the plain text editor and enter in html tags like <table><tbody><tr><td> and <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, etc.
The rich text editor completly understand those tags and displays things properly.
But the page previewer and the page display code does not.
It all looks like normal text.  The headings aren't bigger and bolder, and the table-oriented tags are ignored.

Er. Ok so I have no idea how the editor was disabled in the first place, I've been through the configuration four times now and as far as I can tell it should be working (but isn't). I'm hoping one of the other admins might have some insight into how this happened. Anway, unless/until I hear back from them I'll keep working on coaxing it into working again.

Ok, this should be fixed now. Don't ask me how though unless muttered profanities and dirty looks had something to do with it.

I moved the content from a "book" to a "story".
Same problem with a story. You can use the "Where to" article under ceramics as a test case.

I just tweaked the html

I just tweaked the html filter to accept h1 through h5. Here is a list of allowed tags:
 
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <a> <em> <strong> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <strike> <b> <img> <span> <div>
 
Anything not in that list gets stripped by the html filters.

Not sure I understand you.  I typed them in.
Here's a link that defines the standard tags used in a table.  They are very useful for controlling layout and I sure hope you activate them.

LMAO. You actually got me to

LMAO. You actually got me to laugh out loud there. Just for that I'll go ahead and add table tags (against my better judgement and all that is Right and Good in web design).  Give me a few minutes to make the change.
 
Update: I've added the following tags: <table> <tr> <th> <td> <col> <caption> <colgroup> <thead> <tbody> <tfoot>
