galagast Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I can't seem to find a similar suggestion.. I hope there are plans to have an HTML view for writing (and designing) posts. Currently I'm able copy and paste from LibreOffice, and it would inherit some of the formatting. But I may want further control on how it would end up looking.

Marc Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hey Jeff Nope that's not really on the roadmap. What are you looking to do that would require html formatting? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galagast Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hey Marc! On a thread I posted here, I used the mentioned workaround above to insert tables onto the thread. But it lacks finer controls, like manually setting alignment and spacing. Some of the properties that I set for the table in LibreOffice isn't getting transferred when I paste it here on the editor. So I was hoping an html view of the post would let me tinker with some of those manually. Cheers! Jeff Lim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 You can view the code by clicking on the 'source' button in the editor. Will that work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galagast Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 I would assume that by viewing the code, it would also allow us to modify it? If so, that would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Yip, try it out next time you reply here. I added the bold tag above in the source view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galagast Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 I seem to be missing the view source button on my editor.. here's a screen grab of my editor buttons. I'm on Firefox.. I also tested on Chrome and IE. Win10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
