Never, ever, ever use bold, italic, etc. toolbar buttons to change styles.

If you want a different style, create the style, don't use the writing-to-granny-once-a-year buttons.


Isn't that going against the very thing Marc is complaining about? If I want to put something in bold, I want a Bold button. Creating a style, as you're suggesting, is very much a developer thing and no mortal man on the street thinks in those terms or would even know what you're talking about. I'm talking about word processors and the like - not web page development tools...in which case I agree, this is what CSS is for.

(Shift + F1 in Word; menu options in more advanced WPs).


That shows you what style is currently in effect; I want precise control over where those individual styles start and finish. I've done that right now in CP's editor with 'I' tags in angled brackets. That's the sort of control I'd like to see in a WYSIWYG, if it's not going to get everything just right, all the time.
