Anyhoo, since you ask: Say I need to add a class to a
paragraph tag (say, change <p> to <p class=caption>).
When I press the spacebar after the p to start typing, a
pop-up appears giving me a list of various HTML tags.
Example:
quote:
<h5> ... </h5>
<h6> ... </h6>
<head> ... </head>
<html> ... </html>
...and so on. Why? What does the list mean? Things I
could add? What are they supposed to help me do? Isn't not
as a shortcut to typing because if I double-click one of the listed
items it merely inserts the code and doesn't replace the code
that's already there so I'd end up with
<p<h5></h5>> and end up having to spend time
correcting that mess.
The pop-up very nearly obscures what I'm typing and so I have
to click elsewhere to get the pop-up to go away. And it happens
every time.
It's a poke in the eye. I thought the HTML editor would be
more convenient, but now? I prefer using Notepad by an order of
magnitude. (And it's moot anyway since the HTML editor is broken--a
problem
I
described awhile back resurfaced and we're out of ideas on how
to fix it.)
