How can I prevent Canvas RCE from inserting needless redundant HTML tags into my assignments?
Example:
Multiple and matching tags -- sometimes in the dozens,
with no content in between!
The first symptom of this problem is an excessively-long footer underneath the RCE editing box:
pre > span > strong > span > span >span > span > span > span > span > span > span > span > . . . . .
At this point, the editor slows down so badly that I have to go into HTML and manually delete
some of these large blocks of redundant tags.
Since my assignments contain lots of programming code, the whole assignment is preformatted.
(I've tried using format, but it seems to be useless for displaying real programs.)
Is there any way to disable Canvas from inserting all these redundant tags? Isn't the whole idea of
to render exactly what the user is typing.
This has not been such a problem with previous assignments, so I'm wondering if there's some
kind of sticky setting made inadvertently in this assignment to cause the problem. Tried clicking Paragraph and then Preformatted in an effort to reset everything. But it did not help.
Tried to include a screen capture, but the "browse files" box doesn't seem to work.
