User blog comment:Kirkburn/Rich text editor upgrade news/@comment-126761-20091217155806

Hey all, thanks for the new info. We've fixed a whole bunch of issues over the past few days, and are hoping to do another code push in the near future to get them live. Fixes and improvements include (but are certainly not limited to!):


 * Tables: jquery info being added, and caption issues
 * Links: interwiki links not being recognised as "real"
 * Images/video: placeholder upgrades, and solving several interaction issues
 * Adding LinkSuggest in source mode
 * Improving the error dialogs
 * Internationalization work is proceeding swiftly

We're continuing to look into the issue of raw editor code appearing in the final page. I believe I've identified a major cause (interactions with Special:CreatePage), and we're looking into it at the moment.

Najevi, I quite like the idea of a default "quote" paragraph format option. We'll look into it. Shift + Enter is an interesting use case I hadn't come across before - if it's only very rarely used by accident, I think br and no newline could be done. (I'm just a little concerned that it could be confusing if it's not intentionally done).

Jacob, we're planning on getting an updated help page up in the near future. Apologies for the lack of documentation at the moment!
