It's not clear what the best way is to drop in text to a text field on RTB. When submitting a testimonial right now, I dropped in the text, then saw a bunch of HTML tags in the page.
<div><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px"><br /></span></font></div><div><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial"><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px">YOU DA MAN for your breakthrough engineering on the Rock Steady Stand! I like hauling lots of heavy stuff, not to mention my kids...</span></font></span></div>
So I went back and stripped them off. But then they reappeared, each time I edit this node. Try it! Any way, it's not clear what the best way is to add text to a text field without this type of thing happening.
Disable Rich Text by default
I get that disabling rich text first is one way to avoid this problem. Maybe we should do that by default.
Heh
Actually, my account is already configured to do that. I'll flip the global switch so it affects everyone.
As an aside:
Every time I see this topic title in the list, I laugh.
