WIP: Minor, but annoying - Bold formatting button creates different tags depending on where you use it

This one has been around forever, but I always figured it would be fixed at some point and never reported it.

Easily replicated:

Create a rich text widget, add some text.

On the canvas element, highlight some text and hit the B button to bold it - it creates a < b > tag on the text
Use the panel on the left, highlight some text and hit the B button to bold it - it creates a < strong > tag

Can this be standardized to < strong >?

Hi,

CMD + B should actually switch between different breakpoints.

Is it not switching for you?

Sorry Matej

I got the entire post completely wrong as I started it, got a phone call, then continued lol

The actual issue is the bold formatting button, not the shortcut. If you use the B button when highlighting text in the bricks canvas it inserts < b > if you do it in the editor on the left panel, it inserts < strong >

(Ive updated the original post)

Hehe, thanks for the explanation :smiley:
Now I can see the difference and I’ll open an improvement task for this.

Hate to be a pain @Matej and @timmse, but just noticed a similar issue with the italic button - in the builder canvas it creates an < i > tag, and in the rich text editor on the left it’s < em >

Zero priority on this again, just noticed it and since this thread was here, decided to flag it

Hi,

yeah, it is different… :sweat_smile: I’ve created another task and linked this topic. We will update it once it’s improved :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Matej
