Bug in the code editor showing bold/italic

JSWolf · 10-21-2019, 10:12 AM

If I have code that look like this...

Code:

<p><b>This is bold text.</b></p>
<p><b><i>This is bold italic text.</i></b></p>
<p><i>This is italic text.</i></P>

The text shows bold and/or italic correctly. But if I have text that looks like this...

Code:

.bold {
  font-weight: bold;
}
.bolditalic {
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
}
.italic {
  font-style: italic;
}

<p class="bold">This is bold text.</p>
<p class="bolditalic">This is bold italic text.</p>
<p class="italic">This is italic text.</P>

The text is just plain text. Can this be fixed so if the bold and/or italic is part of a class that the text shows the bold and/or italic?

Thanks.

Of all the folk here, I expected ALL the gory details

Where was the stylesheet code placed?
How was it linked to the sample code.

I believe that JSWolf is referring to the code view, not the file preview. I see what he sees, but I do not consider it to be a problem and doubt it can be easily changed.

I did not even realize the old way did that

(I would not have expected a fixed font, code editor to even do more than colorize code)

Yes, that is exactly what I am referring to. It is not something new to version 3. But I finally got around to reporting it. I was editing an eBook easier today and noticed it. So i decided to report it.

The syntax highlighting in the editor is never going to take CSS into account that would absolutely kill performance. You will get bold/italic fonts if you use HTMLtags whose default appearance is bold/italic.
