Not sure what (specifically) you mean. You mean the pop-up dialog doesn't provide the options you want, or you don't want it to appear, ever?

Sorry for being vague. There are times when I would like to add some HTML to a question or answer, and while doing it I need to copy and paste some parts of it. If "treat my answer as HTML" is checked then the intelligent editor will replace my < and > with < and > thus preventing my work from appearing correctly formatted. If I check this setting and then do my editing, then when I uncheck the setting all my handcrafted HTML appears (I hope) correctly.

Surely just copying the HTML:
<table border=1>
<tr><td>Like</td><td>this</td></tr>
<tr><td>and</td><td>this</td></tr>
</table>
and selecting "Paste as-is" to get
Is faster?

Not tried that, I'll do some experimenting tomorrow.

Well, I just tried to improve this question[^], but it is ignoring the HTML and I can no longer correct it.

Chris,
I see your point.
I knew about the possibility if such posts if first place, and I already explained what do I think about such cases: the code could come as is or with "pre" or "code" tags. I only report my observations; and you certainly have an idea that it's based on reading of many posts. The two cases you've shown me I see may be for the very first time or so; but the misused of this check box appear nearly every day, and experts often fix them. I'm talking about overall effect of having it, and worse case of not having it. Please see by yourself.
Thank you,

In searching through messages I've seen it be used sensibly in forums, but not so much in QA.
OK, let's try and experiment then. I'll disable it today.

if they want indented code, they should use PRE tags like everybody else, and get all the good things that come with it (non-prop font, vertical alignment, better readability, ...). By disabling HTML, they deny themselves the possibility to include hyperlinks, images, smileys, text effects, and more. Besides, you are offering the PRE blocks for free (which works OK since you moved the box to the right of the TextBox rather than over it). Most often you are in favor of a unified style, yet you actively support this deviation?
And finally, a document should not have states; states can be part of the entry tool (such as your WYSIWYG versus HTML for articles), not of the document itself.

Ah Luc. If only our users all did what they "should" do.

I disagree. If someone is more comfortable posting as Text, or as Markdown, or as HTML, then I should store what they entered, faithfully, so that when it comes time for them to edit, they are presented with what they entered, give or take any auto-corrections (such as closing HTML tags to create well-formed documents). Translating between these formats, both ways, is difficult.

Terrence should post the links with the little [^] so we can open them without leaving CP.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

The message is formatted automatically by our system, so I've made the change to the system to add the extra link.

The code formatter in pending articles seems to have lost the ability to colorize (sic) the relevant reserved words in the different languages, even when authors appear to have made the correct selection in their source.

Fixed the colourising issue - will deploy new code today.
I can't fix your spelling though. For that there is no hope.

I have edited the question. The formatter in the question was colon d, which displays as a smiley.

"You do not have permission to perform this action"
so I can't reply to a forum message any longer? good grief.
PS: Starting a thread still works, I expect lots of one-message threads. We tried StackOverflow, are we now going after Twitter?
