📑 I have found these related issues/pull requests

I couldn't find anything quite related to my issue. It's more of just a misunderstanding based on the working context of the description box and when it is applying formatting or how to avoid it from applying formatting. Specifically with indentation of markup.

It's worth noting I'm on 2.0.0-beta.4 version at this time.

🏷️ Feature Request Type

Status-page

🔖 Feature description

Add a reminder about auto formatting in description box or html plain text tab option to the editor window so html doesn't become mangled by the editor due to indentation and other common formatting while writing script.

✔️ Solution

For now:

  1. Paste your html into notepad++
  2. Hightlight your html
  3. SHIFT+TAB a few times to unindent
  4. Paste your markup back into the description box without indents.

❓ Alternatives

There are no alternatives to uptimekuma solutions. It's the best. :D

📝 Additional Context

I believe the intention of simplicity on the description box is important but in this case it backfired because I spent a bunch of extra time determining that it was injecting &nsp over and over again. Since most users are likely to know html that use this tool. It at least makes sense to try and separate them out via the UI sort of nonchalantly by offering a small html tab.
