Hi,

I´m breaking my mind to find a way to edit a topic and preserve the font size and color when saving.

For example: When adding the next simple text, all format definitions are deleted when the topic is saved.

<p><span style="color:#FF0000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Alexander R Mendoza Luna</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;">AAAA<br /></span></p>

After saving, I got something like this:

<p>Alexander R Mendoza Luna<br />AAAA</p>

See that all sets for color and font size disappeared.

Can you inform how can I bypass this issue and have that text updated regularly?

I know that I can modify style.css to update all my page, but I dont want that. I just want to modify one single group of text.

Thanks for any information.

Regards.

Marcelo

Discussion and Answer

The WYSIWYG editor makes a TML -> HTML -> TML round trip translation. Some formatting gets lost in the process. You can tell the editor to leave a block of text alone by enclosing it in <sticky> ... </sticky> tags. Details at TinyMCEPlugin.
