Is there a built-in HTML editor for wagn cards?

I'd like to be able to edit an HTML card without seeing the HTML codes. I think I did that by accident once and I can't figure out how to get back there. It was like I opened an HTML editor by mistake. Is that possible? I'm conversant with HTML but sometimes it's nice to focus on the content.

 

Didn't realize I wasn't signed in; this is my card.


Yes. All RichText cards are stored as HTML, but have a "wysiwyg" (what you see is what you get) editor that looks a bit like a word processor. We use a highly configurable editor called "tinyMCE". By default our editors have an HTML button that can be clicked to edit HTML directly.

I'm just not seeing where the button is. There's an "HTML" string next to the card name but that's the card type, right? It leads to a list of HTML-type cards. I'm pasting a pic of what it looks like, on my browser, when I click "Edit" for the card.

Working with jldavis94 on this. The issue is that she has an *HTML* type card, which shows the HTML code. She wants to use the WYSIWIG editor on an HTML type card, which seems to be impossible.

Oh, yes that's right. The HTML cards do currently always show all the HTML. We mostly use the HTML cards for content that gets stripped from Basic cards. I think going forward these two considerations (content stripping and editor) should be separated.
