I did a search through the archive of posts and found that this question has been asked before (so I'm not the only one 
)
but no answer has been given.
I have MediaWiki (v 1.11)
and FCKeditor v2.5
I get the full FCKeditor array of formatting buttons (i.e. looks the same as http://www.fckeditor.net/demo) and while in edit mode, all of them seem to work. However when I click SAVE- the formatting disappears and only the plain text shows. Only the basic formatting (those inate to mediawiki - bold, italics,... maintain the format even after clicking Save.
Any idea of what to do.
FYI: for the install- I simply unzipped FCKeditor, uploaded the files to my server, and made the following change to the code
in the LocalSettings.php file I added in : require_once $IP . "/extensions/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.php";
In advance thanks for any help - I REALLY would appreciate the help on this, we've begun a project using FCKeditor and have stopped for the last 2+ days due to this.
THANKS,
Jon

Re: FCKeditor - formatting disappears after hitting save- HELP.
(1) After I select a color (e.g. blue) for the text, although the selected text on screen turns blue, when I switch to wikitext mode, I notice that the 'color:blue' part of the < span ...> code is not there.
(2) If I add 'color:blue' in the span tag, and THEN go right to save, the color will correctly show in blue. likewise if I then go to edit, the color will remain blue, however if I then go to wikitext it won't show : 'color:blue', nor if I go straight to save will it show as blue anymore.
Any ideas? It seems others have this problema nd would benefit from the help too.
