Template Editor
Posted: 28 Aug 06 7:52 AM

fiogf49gjkf0d The SLX Template editor is soooooo frustrating to work with. Seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to pasting HTML docs that have been copied from IE or FF. Loses formatting (inconsistently) and is extrememly frustrating.
The problem here is that we have vendors who have marketing material predone on their websites. So you would think that doing a CTRL-A, CTRL-C on the web page and then doing a CTRL-V in the Template editor would be simple enough. It isn't. At least now in any manner that I've seen.
Has anyone had any success doing this or know how to fix whatever the default templete the Template editor uses?
Thanks,
John G. |

fiogf49gjkf0d John,
Most of the formatting is how the tabs are displayed. If you have your tab stops set to 4 spaces in one environment, and 2 spaces in another, that definitely gets reformatted. Are there other formatting changes that get lost?
Is it possible to just have people map a network drive and open the templates directly from whatever application they choose? Any good text editor will work for the web templates.
As for the "Use External Editor" checkbox in the web manger, I'm assuming it uses the default editor specified in the OS. I'm assuming if you change that, it will open with that editor.
Just some thoughts, don't know if they'll help.

fiogf49gjkf0d John,
Yep, I was speaking of the web manager. I think I have a better idea of what you're doing, and I don't have much more to offer. I shudder in fear to think of what Word does with its HTML. I've seen its generated HTML before, and it scares me. 
Sorry I wasn't more of a help...

fiogf49gjkf0d Jeff,
No problem. And I agree, what Word does with HTML is pretty scary. You'd think when using Microsoft products there would be no difference between them (e.g. between IE and Word)
