Description Matija Šuklje 2011-04-24 17:37:11 UTC
Version:           latest svn snapshot (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

When editing or writing anything in Blogilo, whenever I switch to "Visual editor", all the newlines are removed, which makes the code unbearable to read.

In relation to that, in Visual mode an empty newline should trigger a paragraph and not a division. In fact any block of text should by default be enclosed between a <p> and </p>.

<div> and <span> tags should be used only when no other elegant solution is possible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
stripped newlines:
1) write or open a blog entry with at least one empty line between the text
2) switch to "Visual editor"
3) switch to "HTML editor"

Actual Results:  
*) a huge lenghtly block of code without any structure
*) any newlines get replaced by spaces
*) instead of <p> tags, blobs of &nbsp;<div><br></div><div> show up
*) empty <div> tags lying around
*) screaming and frustration

Expected Results:  
*) paragraphs actually enclosed in <p></p>
*) newlines should be where I put them; HTML ignores them anyway, just as multiple spaces
*) no <div> (or <span> for that matter) tags

"In relation to that, in Visual mode an empty newline should trigger a paragraph and not a division. In fact any block of text should by default be enclosed between a <p> and </p>."

In KDE 4.8.2 (blogilo 1.1) you can observe this, too. However, there is a workaround: 

1. Before typing, select another formatting (e.g. "Headline 1")
2. Click on editor panel, as if you start typing.
3. Change back to "Paragraph".

I stopped using Blogilo several years ago when I switched my blogging software.

Additionally, Blogilo seems to be officially unmaintained:

I’m resolving this as unmaintained.

Thank you for triaging it :)
