Better HTML Editor for WordPress
I'm converting an old website from one CMS package to WordPress. While WordPress is a wonderful product, its editor has left me with one small problem. The WP editor likes to insert its own HTML paragraph breaks when ever it sees an EOL (End of Line). However, browsers will render all the text between HTML P tags just fine.
When copying and pasting text from other sources, it will be already word-wrapped according to the display window you are viewing it in. So pasting text from another source into the WP editor will cause hard-breaks at the end of each line. There was no amount of switching between HTML and VISUAL mode that would help.
A little searching on the net found a plug-in that hooks up the CKEditor. This is one fine editor that I've used inside of other CMS packages, so this was already familiar to me. Thanks to Dean Lee's plug-in, I can go into SOURCE mode, paste in the HTML from any source, switch back to VISUAL mode and all the formatting is retained.
If you go to your WordPress plug-in page, search for CKEditor, select the latest version 3 from the list. Or go see Dean's website for the plug-in.
