Hello,

I am using Drupal 6.2 with the latest TinyMCE editor and the marinelli theme. I've installed TinyMCE as explained in the screencast. So far it works fine but I can't use bold or italics for example. In the TinyMCE editor you can see the bold and italic text but when I save the page and view it, the text is just normal. Viewing HTML source shows that nothing has been done. Links work and numbered list also works but bold, italic and underline don't. Does someone have an idea ?

Many thanks for the help
Regards

Hi, try this:

When creating or editing content, expand the field set called Input Format and set it to Full HTML. See attached png.

I'm actually having the exact same issue - I think it has something to do with Drupal preferring < strong > to < b > and < em > to < i > by default, although I can't be certain. Setting the post entry mode to full HTML doesn't resolve the issue. Upon inspecting the source of the preview page, the bold, italic, and underline tags are being omitted entirely. Just to clarify, the issue is between the writing and preview - the formatting is fine within the TinyMCE editor. I'm looking for the file within TinyMCE that creates tags using the buttons, and I'll continue to look, but I would appreciate any other suggestions as I'm sure the original poster would too.

Having the same problem here, but with FCKeditor. I am pondering if it has something to do with the theme I had installed. Maybe the stylesheet used by the theme does not allow bold text?

hmmmmm
