Confluence Source Editor

+1

Thx! Very useful!

This is a must have add-on. I wonder why it is not part of Confluence out of the box.

Can't tell you how many times I have used this to fix little issues that can't be found in edit but mess up formatting once saved!

I use Confluence for a large, public-facing documentation site. If this plugin didn't exist (or wasn't part of the core functionality, which it should be!), I wouldn't be using Confluence at all. The WISYWIG editor is pretty good, but, like any such editor, it sometimes does a bad job interpreting what you really want or does obtuse formatting for unknown reasons. I use this plugin daily to dig into the HTML of Confluence pages and mettle with them. There's often no other way of fixing things, and sometimes it's just faster to insert HTML tags by hand. This editor has syntax highlighting, as well as a useful search and replace function (though the highlight color could be more obvious). Best of all, Confluence never messes with the HTML I input once I submit it (even if it's poorly written), unless I start making further changes with the WISYWIG editor.
