Articles show up all batched together, any ideas?

Post by spartanic »

I got TinyMCE to finally work however when I write articles I notice that it batches everything together instead of leaving it as it is shown in the WYSIWYG

Example:
CONTROL ARM Removal 1. Raise and support front of vehicle. Remove front wheel. 2. Disconnect stabilizer bar link from control arm. Release nut (1). See Fig. 9 . 3. Install one wheel lug bolt and install a piece of wire from lug bolt to coil spring to prevent brake hose damage. See Fig. 17 . 4. Loosen nut until it contacts spring strut. See Fig. 18 . 5. Remove 2 strut-to-steering knuckle bolts and discard. See Fig. 19 . 6. Remove upper strut-to-steering knuckle bolt and lock nut. Remove control arm-to-steering knuckle ball joint nut and discard. See Fig. 20 . 7. Using Ball Joint Separator (31-2-160), separate control arm-to-steering knuckle ball joint. Remove grease from bore and pin. See Fig. 21 . 8. Remove tie-rod from control arm and suspend tie-rod aside. Remove control arm bracket-to-subframe bolts. See Fig. 32 . 9. Unscrew nut and knock ball joint loose with a plastic hammer. Remove control arm. See Fig. 22 . 10. Remove grease from bore and pin.

Instead of:
CONTROL ARM
Removal
1. Raise and support front of vehicle. Remove front wheel.
2. Disconnect stabilizer bar link from control arm. Release nut (1). See Fig. 9 .
3. Install one wheel lug bolt and install a piece of wire from lug bolt to coil spring to prevent brake hose
damage. See Fig. 17 .
4. Loosen nut until it contacts spring strut. See Fig. 18 .
5. Remove 2 strut-to-steering knuckle bolts and discard. See Fig. 19 .
6. Remove upper strut-to-steering knuckle bolt and lock nut. Remove control arm-to-steering knuckle ball
joint nut and discard. See Fig. 20 .
7. Using Ball Joint Separator (31-2-160), separate control arm-to-steering knuckle ball joint. Remove grease
from bore and pin. See Fig. 21 .
8. Remove tie-rod from control arm and suspend tie-rod aside. Remove control arm bracket-to-subframe
bolts. See Fig. 32 .
9. Unscrew nut and knock ball joint loose with a plastic hammer. Remove control arm. See Fig. 22 .
10. Remove grease from bore and pin.

If this is after pasting material in, it is because the source is calling line breaks and paragraph markers differently to TinyMCE.  I get best results by selecting all the text and placing it into paragraph, heading format etc.  Don't leave the text without some kind of format applied.

Can you give me a little example because I do put everything in with its paragraph, spacing, etc etc. I also tried turning off TinyMCE and used HTML as well with its appropriate line breaks with but still it comes out all bunched together.

What I find is that for some reason, text that comes from other sources just won't work properly.  I find that if I write an article is say Word, there are times when even if I have used the paste that removes formatting things go haywire.  As a matter of course I past text into notepad and then cut it from there into CMS Made Simple.  At other times you may need to cut stuff out of CMS Made Simple, into notepad. Then make sure there is no stray code left by using the html button, then post back in and reformat.  I don't know what the cause is, only how I fix it, sorry.
