Raw HTML editing mode about trix

[Tectract]

I'm looking at implementing wysiwyg for a "news page" editor for my site, so my CEO and marketing people can easily create and format new news release articles on our site.

Lack of an "html code editing" mode is a dealbreaker for me too, here. This is a basic feature of a wysiwyg editor, it's a glaring omission from Trix, please reconsider putting it in your development roadmap. Until then, I'll be using another tool.

Trix tightly controls the HTML it generates and that control is, in part, what allows such a reliable editing experience. Any outside mutations cause Trix to immediately reparse the HTML and render its own version, and for this reason Trix will likely never support a raw editing mode.

You could look into post-processing Trix-generated HTML to prepare for emailing. We're happy users of https://github.com/Mange/roadie for that.

2024 and still can't edit raw html

July 2024, no raw HTML. Would the maintainers be open to adding this feature? I can write a PR.

Since the mega-thread #31 was closed because it became unmanageable (saw that coming!), I'd like to see this ticket reopened. It hasn't been addressed, even to indicate whether or not it's something the project would like to have.

To me, it seems like a pretty core feature that every other WYSIWYG editor has. Power users can really benefit from having it.

I'd like to try using Trix for our tool that's used to draft emails. But the nature of HTML email is that you must customize the HTML. Inline styles, for example, are a necessary evil. If the author can draft their message, and then copy/paste out to a tool that converts a <style> block to inline styles and then paste the content back into their message, that would work well.

I ended up just using CKEditor instead.

They probably won't because basecamp doesn't need it.
