It's not much different really. <p> tags are just replaced with <div> so not really cleaner. It would render better in w3m though. I still think it might make most sense to use something like Nvu on Linux rather than editing the html directly.Nvu will then replace all Cocoa tags too (at least of the edited part) and that will then render unpredictably in SCapp. I got critics on helpfiles looking different after I edited them with wysiwyg editors on Linux. So that is still not a satisfactory solution.
I don't think I was aware of that. My experiments with Nvu were satisfactory in terms of what happened in SC.app. What did people complain about?
Replacing the Cocoa html through using another editor is not a problem necessarily, as NSTextView will render simple HTML well, at least IME. I've had no problems with straightforward hand-coded stuff.
It's an old discussion we've been having again and again.
Indeed. It's seasonal. <(;-)>>>> Hohoho
When I have time I can maybe give some examples of what happens. I also need to look deeper into the (Auto)Helper classes, last time I tried, they were not working properly for me.So, if you can do the replace in Cocoa as you proposed, that would greatly improve things.It doesn't render properly in SC.app so I think that probably won't work. (See my other message.) But it would look better in scel if the replacement was done on that side before rendering.If there is no compromise possible at all for things looking even slightly different than they do now in SCapp that makes for a very limited discussion to come to a solution that is comfortable for everyone across platforms.
Now now, nobody said there was no compromise, but I think the line wrap thing looks pretty bad. As a general rule I think things should not look worse (as opposed to different) on any platform than they do now, and documents should look the same when you reopen the file as when you saved it.
The div solution as it stands does not meet those requirements. The latter one really is rather bad, and I think would lead to a lot of frustration and complaint.
I wish there was an alternative to w3m, or at least something more configurable.
