How to configure WYSIWYG Editor Line Height
Permalink
Hi there,
I have a newbie question concerning the C5 WYSIWYG Editor.
When I paste in a plain text block, I always get 1 line space between two lines of text.
Is there any chance to modify this easily?
I could use HTML code, but it would take me a lot more time, instead of copying & pasting the text blocks. Neither do I want to modify my theme files.
So, is there a way to configure the editor, that it does no longer put one line of space between two lines of text?
Isn't the idea of a WYSIWYG editor to format text without the need to use HTML code myself?!

What does your css files say about p tags? It's probably a stylesheet issue.
Well, the p tag is set to 12px in the CSS file.
It's weird, when I use plain text and paste it in, I still got 1 extra line space. When I use the WP text editor, preformat my text there and paste it in, anything's fine.
Strange enough, when I preformat my text w/a standard text editor (Pages/Word), I get extra lines space, though, preformatting my text w/WP doesn't produce these extra lines?!
I have no solution for this. I played around a little bit with the CSS code. I as well put in a line height tag, when using the HTML block element instead of the WYSIWYG editor.
It didn't work either. I always run into this problem w/this damn extra line space.
Something I was wondering about, when I use the example files of C5, they are all formatted fine. No extra lines in there. How can this be?
I mean it's obviously not a problem of the CSS code?!

Hit shift-return in the editor to get a line break that doesn't create a new paragraph.
I have exactly the same problem. Some pasted tet shows in the editor correctly formatted, but when I leave the editor to look at the page it has become double-spaced.
I tried the suggested deletion of carriage returns and their replacement with shift-returns. No difference. Still looked fine in the editor, still looked rubbish on the site.

WYSIWYG tries to "help" you by preserving styling from other programs. It will pick up Word styling. Google docs automatically adds double-spacing to lines, too.
There is a little icon you can click that says "paste as plain text." Click that and anything you paste in will be pasted as plain text.
It's the little icon I have selected in the attached screenshot (note the blue square around it indicating it is selected)

Ok, I tell you, how I currently handle the problem. This might sound stupid and obviously it leads C5 somehow to Absurdistan.
I copy my text tfiles and paste it into the WordPress text field. Then I change to the HTML mode of WP's text editor.
After that I copy the HTML code WP gives out and paste it into the HTML box of C5.
Stupid, right?
Well guys, as much as I enjoy working w/C5, I hate this stupid Tiny editor.
I hated it in Joomla, I hated it elsewhere. The code for text line always (!) leaves 1 line space between 2 text lines.
Maybe I do sth wrong, but I still haven't found what it is.
The text always goes like so:
1. line - blablablablablablablablabla
2. line - blablablablablablablablabla
I just hope the C5 message box does, what I expect that it does. ;-)
Anyway, I am annoyed that there is no other editor for C5 than that. I thought I could format text w/a WYSIWYG, but obviously I have to use good old HTML style again...
Thanks anyway... for reading! ;-)
