  1. Re:Composer Tips? on Mozilla 1.5 Alpha Available · · Score: 4, Informative

    About
    : yes, I can agree with that. We currently use a lot of
    because Gecko forces us to do so. If there is no content, there is no frame (basically, that's how we call the abstract boxes rendered on the canvas); and if there is no frame, we can't place a caret... Given how much the layout team was axed last week, I don't think we'll have a fix for this very big issue any time soon. I am myself working on another approach, ie make Composer get rid of any useless
    as soon as possible. You have to understand that's not a simple task _at all_. I currently have a fix in my own tree, but it's not fully satisfactory yet.

    About definition lists: I agree too and I am working on it.

    About nested lists, bug 54479: that's a major issue, and solving it is a HUGE work. I have a partial fix for this that helps **creating** valid nested lists but does not handle copy/paste yet.

    About editing stylesheets, you were probably on another planet during the last year and a half ;-) I recommend you take a look at http://cascades.mozdev.org/ or build yourself the editor in mozilla/extensions/editor/cascades.

    tag! This is a joke I presume ? The dropdown menu in the formatting toolbar can transform the current block-level containers of the selection into paragraphs. It has always been here.
