WYSIWYG Editor

[Black Hole]

Why does the WYSIWYG editor re-interpret the embedded bbcode tags instead of leaving them as found? It seems to insist on closing off all open tags at the end of every paragraph, and then compensate by opening them fresh (sometimes incorrectly) at the beginning of the next paragraph. This is particularly noticeable for indents and fonts.

Be *bold* and _underline_ your point by using /italics/ instead?

That's a work-around, not an answer.

I think the actual answer is: "Because it does."

That is the answer to most of these types of questions.
