Would like to use <font> tag instead of <span>

Hi, Ihave exactly the same problem. It seems that the previous versions use the <font> tag instead of <SPAN>

the formatting tags can be edited in the main config

   // Other formatting features.
   'FontFace' : 
   { 
      Element      : 'span', 
      Styles      : { 'font-family' : '#("Font")' }, 
      Overrides   : [ { Element : 'font', Attributes : { 'face' : null } } ]
   },
   
   'Size' :
   { 
      Element      : 'span', 
      Styles      : { 'font-size' : '#("Size","fontSize")' }, 
      Overrides   : [ { Element : 'font', Attributes : { 'size' : null } } ]
   },
   
   'Color' :
   { 
      Element      : 'span', 
      Styles      : { 'color' : '#("Color","color")' }, 
      Overrides   : [ { Element : 'font', Attributes : { 'color' : null } } ]
   },

Changing it to something like:

      Element      : 'font', 
      Styles      : { 'font-family' : '#("Font")' }, 
      Overrides   : [ { Element : 'font', Attributes : { 'face' : null } } ]

will make font tags when the style is changed...

hope this helps

Hi,
thank you for your answer.
I tried this solution in different ways and I can replace the word span by font but that s all:
what I need to do is that instead for exemple <span syle = "color:rgb(255,102,0);"></span>, having <font color = '#CCCCC'></font>
I think there is something else to do in an other page but I don't know where.

Do you know something about that?

thanks a lot for all help.

Is that a specific attribute you want with the color? Because that will require some extra calculations, but that will probally work the same way...

actually I just fixed this problem by using the version 2.3 of the editor but would be still

interested how to change the color format into #blablabla instead of rgb(bla,bla,bla)

Here's a work around I came up with. This is the first time I have used FCK, so there might be a better way. I changed the following lines under other formatting features from this:
'Size' :
{
Element : 'span',
Styles : { 'font-size' : '#("Size","fontSize")' },
Overrides : [ { Element : 'font', Attributes : { 'size' : null } } ]
}

To this:

'Size' :
{

Element : 'font',
Attributes : { 'point-size' : '#("Size","fontSize")' },
Overrides : [ { Element : 'font', Attributes : { 'size' : null } } ]
},

I used "point-size" instead of size which seemed to render properly in the editor as well as my final application, which was Flash Player 8. Although to get it to read in Flash Player 8 I had to change "point-size" to just "size", which I did when I processed the form results in php.

I also change the available font sizes on this line from "small, medium, etc" to the following:
FCKConfig.FontSizes = '10;16;22' ;

I haven't tried doing the same thing with Color yet, but hopefully it will work the same.
Cheers!

hi,

wileycoyote how did you change "point-size" to just "size" so flash can read?

thank you,

I too would like to know how this is possible. We have found that when sending HTML-formatted emails, the old awful "FONT" tag is more consistent then a SPAN with styles. (Certain web-based email clients will strip certain styling, but not font tags.)

Has anyone figured out how to do this??

Thanks!
