does require editing each node, but often the problem with new sites is just
that you want a few more HTML tags that aren't in the default filter
configuration. Remember that you can always add a few tags to the default
input (Filtered HTML) format by confuring the html filter for the current
default. p is one that I often add to sites, and sometime a. Changing that
configuration does not require editing each node. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Re: [support] HTML Filters<BR> <BR>I'm new to Drupal as well, but I
just guessing that its the CSS in the theme that you are using. Can you
navigate to the page in your browser and then view the source? In Firefox,
it is in the menu as 'View' > 'Page Source'. You should be able to see
your HTML elements and attributes. If not, then they really have been
stripped somehow. If they are there, then it is likely a CSS problem,
assuming that your HTML is valid.<BR>--ross<BR> <BR>

Filters<BR><BR>Hi, <BR><BR>very much a newbie who feels that she is
constantly "fighting" Drupal to get it to do what she wants it to
do.<BR><BR>Fairly simple "home" page before members log on and get all the
complicated stuff - list of events, accepting bookings for same and the
like - with Views, Flags, Tokens etc.<BR><BR>CKEditor installed and fully
operational. "Full HTML" selected and all "Input Filters" disabled on
"Input Formats" page. Yet when displaying the page much of the HTML
formatting I have implemented has been stripped off. Nothing special just
paragraph alignment - simple stuff like text centering, etc. Looks
fine when editing, but preview and much of it has gone. As it does when
seen by a visitor. Tried it with CKEditor disabled and plain text editor
selected . Doesn't seem to make any difference - formatting still gets
stripped.<BR><BR>Not much point in using a wysiwyg style editor if Drupal
strips all the functionality out. Also when using CHEditor the edit box
has the same background as the main site, which makes life difficult if
it's a dark background and the text one is editing is black. Would
appreciate some clues.<BR><BR>Alison<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>--
