[Qgis-psc] Replace news feed content editor with html view?

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

Ouch yes this one is hard to stop biting us in the butt….I will ask Anita (Kartoza Anita) to update it to either add the raw source editor in mcedit or make it a plain text box.

It’s strange because on my Mac I dont have any layout issues with the post from Marco.

Regards

Tim
