Every time I go to edit my article, the server side script seems to mess up my formatting. Then I have to go in and fix it. Here are some of the annoyances I find:

- It automatically wraps my whole article in a <p> tag.

- Often, it deletes or replaces my first tag with a <p> tag. This is particularly annoying if you lead the article with an <h1> tag because the closing </h1> tag is invalidated, which causes it to be rendered in the article.
- I can go through and fix my whole article, get the proper tags just right... and then a week later, for some unknown reason, the tags are broken again. I'm guessing someone else edits the article without checking to see if any of the above mentioned tags broke.

The current workflow is to write the article in a separate notepad document, with the correct tags. Then you copy/paste the article and hit submit. If you need to make any edits, you have to do it in your notepad document because making and edits in the website will cause the server side script to inject or overwrite the tags mentioned above and you get mismatched tags and broken formatting.

Yes, this is known and very annoying, especially for editing before it goes in the queue.

If you get your article to a "good enough" state, we will edit the tags to get formatting. If anything isn't clear we'll contact you. There are some nuances you can work around, but you kind of have to know what to do and it's not easy enough to lay out all those nuances here.

Also looking at replacing the editor..
