A plea to the Wordpress developers
Please please please stop changing what I write.
You don’t know best. I do!
If I enter three dots, I want three dots, not a bloody ellipsis.
I don’t want smart quotes.
Don’t replace my apostrophes with backticks.
I don’t want my perfectly valid nested XHTML trashed when you “fix” it.
If I enter a div in the Rich Text Editor, I want a div, not a damned p.
I swear, this behaviour reminds me most of Microsoft Word.
What next? I enter “Dear Sir” and you ask me if I want to type a letter?
Post what I type, not what you think I want.
Turn off all those “features” now and offer them as options for the minority who do want to see their text magically changed.
Please.
