How do you break out of a block in WYSIWYG editor?

[Crud O Matic]

Say, I'm in a P tag and I want to end the P tag, then start a DIV.

How would I tell the editor to end the path im in and start a new one w/o editing the HTML? I need this because the person that will be using this when I'm done DOESN'T know HTML and doesn't want to learn.

Here's what I do in TinyMCE (using a Mac but I think the key combo is the same):

Hit return to start a new paragraph.

Press control-8 (changes the new into .

For example, starting with an empty page.

1) Type in some text.

Result in HTML:

Code: Select all

blah blah blah

(doesn't tag input as paragraph at this point.)


2) Hit return to start new paragraph.

Result in HTML code:

Code: Select all

<p>blah blah blah</p><p> </p>

(first line and new line wrapped in paragraph tags, non-breaking space added to new line.)


3) Press control-8

Result in HTML:

Code: Select all

<p>blah blah blah</p><div> </div>

(new line changed to div and non-breaking space removed.)


4) Type in some more text.

Result in HTML:

Code: Select all

<p>blah blah blah</p><div>even more blah </div>

(new line safely wrapped in the div.)


If possible, I try to avoid employing divs in user editable content. It's very easy to accidentally backspace over or misapply tags, with confusing results for the non-technically minded. It helps to ensure the path field is turned on in the TinyMCE extension settings and draw the end users attention to it.

In windows also.

Thank you very much
