WYSIWYG Editor Corrupts XHTML
Is there a better version of the WYSIWYG Editor? The current version corrupts xhtml escape encoding e.g.
If you have Microsoft® in some xhtml code loading it into the editor it becomes Microsoft®

Re: WYSIWYG Editor Corrupts XHTML
In all honesty, I wouldn't use a WYSIWYG if you care at all about XHTML compliance. It's easy enough to write basic HTML for descriptions and HTML pages. The link referenced above is for cleditor, which we've removed from our forthcoming version 9 software.

Okay, I'll continue to write html code by hand, when I'm getting lazy I've found Microsoft Expression Web v4 is easy to use (and free!). I then just cut and paste into the relevant documents.

Re: WYSIWYG Editor Corrupts XHTML
I put them in media/cleditor but as Nick says, the update is not much better.
I mainly use it to just check if I have made a coding error but it does do some very silly formatting so I treat it with a great deal of caution.
I mainly use FrontPage for error checking but only have v2. I will upgrade it to v4 if it is free now.

Re: WYSIWYG Editor Corrupts XHTML
I tried FP4 but remembered that I prefer FP2. I only use for checking html is valid and do not allow it to add any of its own styles, etc. Our pages validate OK with w3C apart from the 8 errors on all product pages relating to schema data like
"itemscope" is not a member of a group specified for any attribute, etc.
Is there any fix for this?
Can you recommend any other free html editors? Although I can hand code, it is easier to get some software assistance when you have thousands of pages to do.

Re: WYSIWYG Editor Corrupts XHTML
Could you add a syntax highlighter like one of those listed at http://www.sitepoint.com/10-jquery-syntax-highlighters/ in place of CLEditor?
It would make editing easier without the risk of corrupting the code. Code highlighting is the main reason I use FP.
If you do not wish to add it how can I add myself? I see jslib.php and formfield_textareawysiwyg.php are involved. Are there any other files I need to look at?

{public}/media/scripts/backend.js has a wysiwyg loader function in it as well. Between the two files you mentioned and that one, that's all of them.
