Topic: Rich text editor controls not recognising <SPAN />

In my rich text editor options, I have added the 'Source button' to my toolbar.

When in edit mode, the source button is visible on <div class="edit "/> elements but not <span class="edit"/> elements.

Is this intentional?

Re: Rich text editor controls not recognising <SPAN />

Hi, that is intentional. If the source button were available on SPAN elements (and other inline elements) then users could potentially invalidate the page but entering block elements inside inline elements.

For example:

<span>
     <div>This is bad</div>
</span>
