Hide HTML tab by default

Description

Most users shouldn't be editing raw HTML.

Take regular word processors. Does Microsoft Word or even OpenOffice have a noticeable button that allows you to edit the underlying XML of a document? That would be a nightmare.

So why should an average user see the HTML tab, by default?

The setting in the profile should allow one or the other, or both modes:

Editing modes:

[x] Visual editor
[ ] Raw HTML

I disagree with this. How I wish sometimes I can edit the underlying code of MS Words because formatting it is a PITA.

-1 from me too. Matt Mullenweg has said in the past that depending on the type of content he is writing he will use one or the other. I do the same thing and am sure there are others who do this as well.

  • Milestone 3.0 deleted
  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

-1 - This is by design and we have got to this better place by a long and wandering route.

Sometimes you do need HTML mode and sometimes not.

Closing as WONTFIX.
