Hi @Terry_Oregon . Hmm, that’s a legitimate point. I didn’t think there would be extensive editing of the posts imported from the old forum. Basically, if it was originally created with the old “Advanced Post Editor” then it was using HTML, and it will still be displayed as such here. If it was originally created with the old “Simple Post Editor” then it will now be translated into a similar sort of light markup language (much more human readable, no HTML tags). And from now on all new posts are using that same easy markup language with help from the new editor buttons.
So to make extensive edits in a visual way to old HTML posts there are two decent workarounds:
- https://pandoc.org/try (paste in the HTML, and set the from language to “html” and the to language to “gfm” . Click Convert and then paste the converted text back here.
- Select and copy the original post (not in edit mode) and paste it into the demo editor halfway down this page: https://www.tiny.cloud, make your changes, and then in that editor go to: View > Source code and copy the code back here.
