    I never use the wysiwyg and always write my articles in the "source". This morning, however, once I reopened my draft, it started in wysiwyg editor. It completely ruined my formatting. I hate that stuff!

      Only source. However, I also just edit locally and replace the source completely on updates. That way the editor cannot mess with my code.

        I never use "the source." ;) I write my articles off-line (gasp, I actually use FrontPage!) and then copy the HTML in source mode. Marc

          I write my articles in Notepad and email them in, but I've used the editor for some Tips -- in which cases I edit the HTML.

                            The same way that Hipster Sunshines call their deliberate choice to drink nasty beer ironic.

                            Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                              You should search for hipster irony[^]. Can cause mental health issues, so be careful.

                                Just to show that I agree. Put same to same. Did not add anything new to the main discussion stream.
