HTML code beautifier parity issues with Advanced WYSIWYG editor
Nivedha Mohan
When attempting to edit an article's code view, the code appears as a large, unformatted block, rendering it difficult to modify.
If we use an online tool to format the HTML code and then paste it into the code view, the Advanced WYSIWYG editor fails to accept the well-formatted code, reverting to the original, unformatted version.
This issue poses a significant inconvenience for the customer, who relies on editing the article content directly from the code view.

FYI, there is a keyboard shortcut for the Advanced WYSIWYG code view: You can press
Shift + Tab
in the code view to pretty-format the code, this makes direct changes in the HTML code easier. If you switch the view back and forth, the code view will be again shown in the ugly default view, but you can use the keyboard shortcut as often as you like.Document360 Support This is a very essential feature if you want/need to use the code view. I don't know if it is even properly documented, but it should be definitely be more advertised.

harald dersch WOW! I wish I had known about this months ago! I'm in code view very often, sometimes moving the code out to BBEdit for editing, and this would have saved me so much time! Thanks for sharing.

This is really an issue. The code editor of the Advanced WYSIWYG editor is a pain to work with. Syntax highlighting is nice, but does not help you if all the HTML code is saved as a big wall of text, without any pretty print capability, especially since the editor keeps polluting the markup with block-id attributes.
I learned that there are plans to deprecated (and eventually) remove the regular HTML editor. You definitely have to fix the Advanced code editor before you scrap the well-working HTML WYSIWYG editor!!
