Typography problems
Permalink
I'm working on a site at the moment (it's about 90% complete) and I'm having some frustrating difficulties with the text - specifically with regards to font type, size size, spacing and adding things like bullet points and block quotes.
Basically, the font type is different across the site. For example, if you look on the small news items on the main page you will note that the "Tirzah Fundraiser" text is different from the "Tirzah T-shirt" text. I also can't add bullet points for whatever reason.
It's possible that I could go through the HTML view and try to sort things out this way (which would be a chore to say the least given the maze of tags I see before me!) but it would not be possible for the client to do this.
I don't know if I've messed up the css commands and this is causing the problems. I'm stumped.

Is that added by you, or by tinymce? did you copy and paste?
I copied and pasted. I assumed all these tags (they litter the content) were generated by C5. Is this not the case?
yeah, tinymce sometimes screws around with copy and paste. Did you use one of the tinymce paste modes, or just into the main part of the content?
Straight from a word doc. I've since imported a test portion of the content into wordpad, rest the formatting (something I thought I had already done in Open Office) and begun pasting it directly into the wysiwyg editor.
Oddly enough while this does appear to work insofar as the correct text is being rendered, things like bullet point aren't working.

Thanks! I think I had been using that but maybe not for all the site.
Any idea why bullet points aren't showing up? Even if I manually place in <ul> and <li> tags they don't display.
It's a long shot - but I'm thinking that perhaps there is some command in main.css that is hitting all <ul><li> on the site. I've had a look and can't see anything that would be doing this. The css is fairly explicit.

Let me explain what is going on.
1) In the first block, the text entered in comes from Open Office and is pasted in via the little word button you mentioned in the editor. As you can see it is quite heavy on classes etc - none of which I put in.
2) In the second block (under the *'s) the text is copied directly form Wordpad and pasted in via the plain text button.
Now for the problems!
In the case of 1, I applied bullet points (used the button) to the text (excluding "The Facts" which should have a <H2>). You can see that not only did it not work, it also made the last line a different size for some reason.
In the case of no 2, if I import text from Wordpad it will wrap Everything in a single <p></p> rather than multiple ones. This causes massive problems if I go to do something like add a <H> tag because it then hits everything. Also, I applied bullet point to the same area of text as before and still nothing. The entire text has shrunk though.

hmm. These are definitely tinymce issues, and I'm not sure how to fix them. sorry.
Thanks for trying. Any idea who I can turn to?
maybe try tinymce forums?
Unfortunately the don't have a forum for tinyMCE.
This thread (http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/tinymce-custom-styles-not-applying-in-5-4/) did appear promising but to no avail.
I'm considering doing a fresh reinstall in hopes that this may do something.
