I have installed FCKeditor and it embeds nicely. But when I create a new page or edit an existing I get a page with tags instead of formatted HTML.

Like this:

This is a [b]testpage.[/b]

This is a [url=http://drupal.org]hyperlink[/url]

This is a picture:

And when I choose "View source" on the saved webpage:

<div class="content">
     <p>This is a [b]testpage.[/b]</p>
     <p>This is a [url=http://drupal.org]hyperlink[/url]</p>
     <p>This is a picture:</p>
</div>

Why is this happening?

Do you really mean [b] or is that just a way to express <b>? Could you post a screenshot?

Yes, i really mean [b], but I understand why you are wondering :-s

I have attached to pictures. One that shows how it is seen from the viewers point and one that show how it is seen whitin the editor.

FCKeditor will never support bbcode. I think it is a bad idea to combine bbcode and HTML. In any case, I think you should enable a filter in your filter settings for bbcode support.

Don't know why FCKEditor creates bbcode, but I have decided to try CKEditor instead. It seems to work fine as an editor, but when I install the CKFinder I get a strange error when I try to upload. I have created a new support request http://drupal.org/node/709692 and closes this one.

Thanks for helping
