Hello Everyone,
I have a dilemma. Goal: I want users to be able to use XML tags like <comments /> alongside using a WYSIWG editor. Problem: The XML tag is being converted to HTML, but when I open edit again, it doesn't work.
background: I'm using the WYSIWG editor (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WYSIWYG). I've downloaded comments so users can use comment boxes (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Comments)
I want to have comment boxes enabled, so I go to my WYSIWG editor, and I click on source, and at the bottom I put
<comments />
To put the comment boxes. But when I go back to the WYSIWG editor, it has parsed <comments /> tag and converts it into:
<form name="ChangeOrder" action=""><select name="TheOrder"><option value="0">Sort by date</option><option value="1">Sort by score</option></select></form> Enable comment auto-refresher
<form action="" method="post" name="commentform"> Add your comment <textarea name="comment_text" id="comment" rows="5" cols="64"></textarea>
<input type="button" value="Post comment" class="site-button"></input> </form>
Question/Solution?
Is there a way I can get the comment boxes to work alongside the WYSIWYG? I also want to try to special tag for WYSIWG, but it won't let me insert <comments /> as a special tag.
