ANGEL update brings improved usability for HTML editor
On July 30, 2009, Information Technology Services performed an update on ANGEL to improve the usability of the inline HTML editor. In most areas where the HTML editor is available, it will now load automatically without the need to first click the "HTML Editor" link. This change should correct issues that some users have experienced with line breaks and formatting not being retained.
Please note that the HTML editor will not load automatically in a few text areas, including the message field in drop boxes, some text fields encountered when creating or editing a question in a quiz or survey, and the answer field in essay questions when taking a quiz. To use the editor in these areas, you will still need to select the "HTML Editor" link beneath the text box. If you do not see the HTML editor when composing ANGEL mail messages, please enter your inbox, click preferences, select the HTML format for your mail messages, and save.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, please contact ANGEL Support.

This is actually causing
This is actually causing more headaches. Now the HTML editor isn't reading html code. Case in point, when I create a page to embed a video from youtube, the page will just display the text of the code instead of the video itself.
Re: This is actually causing
Click the view source button before pasting your HTML code. It's the last button on the right, in the second row of buttons if there are two rows.
I agree
That the HTML editor isn't very user-friendly any more. My students used to be able to do an assignment where they would embed youtube videos in their postings, but this is no longer possible. Pasting into the source code doesn't work.
re: I agree
Turning on the HTML editor by default was requested by a large number of students and faculty.
You contacted ANGEL Support about the video embedding issue yesterday. I can confirm that this is an issue in discussion forum posts and will report it to ANGEL Learning. Irma made a note to email you as soon as we have a fix or workaround for this; I'll try to remember to post something here as well.
