Cleaning Up Messy Code

Occasionally, HTML code can be corrupted when cut from an external application and pasted into the TinyMCE Editor. A common form of corruption is a closing “>” for an HTML tag converted into the Entity name value, > (“Greater Than.”).

To repair any HTML tag problems:

  1. Click , Cleanup Messy Code.

    2. Note: The TinyMCE HTML engine will recognize the corruptions (in the example cited above, the tag affected would close with > and be missing its “>”) and instantly repair them.

  2. Click Save after cleaning up your code.

Note: You can achieve the same cleanup by saving the document or by viewing the HTML code and clicking Update. Cleanup Messy Code lets you preview HTML changes before you save.
