Working with the Editor to publish an article is HELL
-
Sry I have to say that but I wrote a nice article (I think) but gave up on publishing it since formatting it is a HELL in the online editor and I'm not brave enough to try the new one since it sucked all my energy out of me :(

In my experience the new editor is already better. Anyway you can ask for help: http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1641/Article-Writing.aspx[^]
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I write all my articles offline and use email submission. No muss, no fuss, no hassle.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

It's so freeking annoying to paste code and it spaces over over the whole block and so on, it consumes almost the same time as writing the article itself but thanks for suggesting asking for help :)

Hi, I wrote my article offline but in Open Office and exported it as a .Pdf , but perhaps its an idea to just send it by email :)

I know I'm archaic, but I write all my articles in FrontPage and just paste the HTML into the online editor. At most, I use it to add "code" tags. Marc

I agree. I would rather use NotePad to edit the raw HTML. I'd be surprised if anyone used it for anything longer than a paragraph.

You could try the Offline Article editor written by one of the community. You can find it at the top of the list at Code Project Utilities (Member Contributions) FAQ[^]
H Dave, Thanks for the Link, I downloaded that Offline Editor and have a look at it :)

Hi Mark, FrontPage sounds familiar but no clue what it was except something from MS in the past I think

Hi, You know HTML5 has these <Article></Article> tags and so on... I think it would be faster to write an article that way :thumbsup:

If it's any consolation, I still spend more time swearing at the article editor (and repairing the damage it did) than I do writing the articles! I tend to switch it to HTML mode and use it as a "glorified notepad with a preview button" as it annoys me a lot less that way...:laugh:

Haha, I just moved recently to Amsterdam (an apartment block) and this afternoon when I was working with the Editor I was saying words my new neighbours perhaps wouldn't appreciate and possibly could hear ,when I realised that I made myself a cup of coffee and calmed down :) When the anger again came up I wrote this post :)

Fortunately, the walls here are 60cm thick and made of granite, so very little gets through them - and certainly no sound! :laugh:

So, what you're saying is, in OG's house, no one can hear you bleat! :baaaa!: ;P

Quite so. It used to be the way people published static web pages. I still like it as an article editor because of it's split view (HTML / text) but there's more modern editors that do the same thing. Marc

All my articles have been written entirely* with Notepad. * Excepting that the code wasn't written in Notepad; however, I do the < and > replacements in Notepad.

I quickly gave up on the editor and started writing in VS instead. Just remember to exchange all < and > inside pre tags to < and < before you paste it into the editor.

Trust me, the new one is a lot better and don't messses up formattings.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Hi, I'm going to give that a try tomorrow then but I hope they fixed the upload also since the code (VS project) was to big for the old one.

Drop me an email if you need help, I worked a fair bit with the new one already.
