Keep question editor from changing formatted question text entered in sourcemode

socius created the topic: Keep question editor from changing formatted question text entered in sourcemode
Dear all,
I have some trouble with the question editor and formatted dynamic output via EM. (And sorry: I think this topic should be filed somewhere else and not under "Can I do this ...")
I'd like to dynamically formulate the question text - which usually works perfectly with the EM.
But: This time I want to use formatting, more specific: an unordered list with bullet points - one bulletpoint appearing for every specific answer the respondent gave in a multiple choice question before, i.e.
q1: Where did you eat at?
A
B
C
D
E
F
q2: What did you eat at [and now the according bullet points]
I write this code into the "Source" field. Now the Problem is, that every time I save this question the automatic formatting destroys the code and makes the source look like the code below - if I save the question again (which I do frequently because of formulation details, etc.) the question does not work any more.
Is there a way to preserve the code as it is and keep the editor from formatting it? I hope I did not overlook such a functionality.
Thanks for your time!
Best, G

in your account setting, you can disable HTML mode for editor

Hi @LouisGac
Thank you! That works well - it seems I can't have it all (preservation of code with some formatting and html-editor), right? Or could I use something like a wrapper around the code that keeps the editor from to adding tags (which is actually really nice - but just not in this case).

Unfortunately, as far as I know, not without disabling the editor.

Assistance on LimeSurvey forum and LimeSurvey core development are on my free time.
I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH member, professional service on demand (or search sondages pro).
An error happen ? Before make a new topic : remind the Debug mode .

Set HTML editor in popup. Clearly : i really think it's always the best option.

Thanks to @tpartner and @DenisChenu!
Yes, I also think that the popup html-editor works best - the code stays untouched if I do not explicitly call the html-editor and in case I have to, I just copy the sensitive parts before calling it and put them back in afterwards.
Thanks for your help!
