Amazing, but wait...

This is a HUGE improvement over last editor. My only problem is with editing within the profile box section; for some reason you no longer have access too usual advanced editing tool (font size, adding references, inserting breaks etc. - it now has to be done manually (or of course through 'edit source')).

Hi Heuh0, If I understand correctly, you're describing how editing the templates in the top-right corner of many articles (aka Infobox), gives us the template-editor window (e.g. https://i.imgur.com/xmHMQu4.png ) which itself then requires wikitext/source inside it.

If that's right, then the issue is tracked at phab:T52182 ("VisualEditor: Add support for making some templates directly "visually editable" in the DOM, as if they were tables (e.g. infoboxes)"), and is on the planned feature list (but seems to be proving itself a harder challenge than first thought). Thanks for the feedback. :)

Actually, that's phab:T52355 ("Add support for editing templates' parameters as DOM elements, including supporting nested templates") which is very hard (but not quite as hard as T52182).
