Turn off autoformat (not talking about P)
-
Hello, I am an advanced webdesigner and I have some serious SEPARATORS on my website, one example is this one:
test <!-- Content ENGLISH --> </ul><ul class="portuguese-bot"><a title="666" name="666"></a></ul><ul class="portuguese-top"><a title="english" name="english"></a></ul><ul class="portuguese"> <!-- Content ENGLISH --> test
What I did there was create a separator based on my “own crazy mind/CSS-thingy”… can’t explain, but its really cool and the only way to have this kind of separator is if I use that specific CODE with NO changes to it… BUT WordPress changes him…
1- First the thing was created with DIVs not ULs, but I was forced to make it as a UL because WordPress converts ALL divs into P codes…
2- Even by using ULs as CSS selectors, transforming them into BLOCKS to use them as DIVS, I still can’t use it without having wordpress changing the above code to this:
test <!-- Content ENGLISH --> <ul class="portuguese-bot"><a title="666" name="666"></a></ul> <ul class="portuguese-top"><a title="english" name="english"></a></ul> <ul class="portuguese"> <!-- Content ENGLISH -->test</ul>
If you compare my first code, the first thing you will notice is a unclosed UL tag on top and end… But that is precisely my problem, I WANT the code to be like that.
Look at what WordPress did to my “crazy separator thingy”, he removed the /UL code from the beginning, and added a /UL code to the end, and I DONT want that, as these opened codes are implemented already inside my template… So what happens is a titanic broken layout…
Someone had an idea once to create a code for wordpress like:
<wp-ignore> And so I can write anything in here and wordpress WONT check or change ANYTHING, no matter what. </wp-ignore>
I am really looking forward for that code, I really LOVE the visual editor, and find it really sad to be forced to use the non-visual text editor only because it forces auto formating of html tags, or because it converts DIVs into Ps and closes all unclosed tags.
Sure sure… I did install:
Text Control Plugin – By Jeff Minard (Edit/Bugfix: Graeme Findlay).
AND
Disable wpautop – By John Godley.BUT none solved my problem.
I just want to be able to add DIV codes, and unclosed tags without having WordPress messing around, so, please guys (Devs) consider my letter here, please support the <wp-ignore> idea for the next build, I am waiting for this since version 2.1 and no one cares =(
Idea: The visual editor would be broken if had crapy unclosed tags, so, to solve this, make it ALSO ignore whatever is inside the <wp-ignore> tag… This solves all problems for everyone.
I do want WordPress to check the rest of my post, just don’t want him to mess this separator:
<wp-ignore> test <!-- Content ENGLISH --> </ul><ul class="portuguese-bot"><a title="666" name="666"></a></ul><ul class="portuguese-top"><a title="english" name="english"></a></ul><ul class="portuguese"> <!-- Content ENGLISH --> test </wp-ignore>
