Re: [Hypercontent-users] entities and the HTML Editor

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Scott,
	This is a tricky problem I've never quite figured out . . . the  
entities are getting submitted back to the server properly, and you  
can see if you view source upon the reload of the form that the  
entities are still encoded.  And in fact, if you have a "<"  
immediately followed by a space, it still shows up fine, but if it is  
followed by a character, even though it is encoded, the browser  
parses it as a tag and it disappears.  To the best of my  
understanding at this point it is a browser bug (it occurs in both  
HTMLArea and TinyMCE, which rely on the underlying browser  
support).   Two workarounds I've used include using screenshots of  
XML and introducing a space between the open tag and the actual tag  
name (e.g. < tag . . .).  Of course, neither of these supports easy  
copy-and-paste.  This is definitely a good candidate for a Jira  
issue, perhaps someone can figure out a real solution . . .
