Text Element, How To Preserve HTML Code?

Hey guys,
I don’t know if it was like this forever, but probably someone know how to change it?
If I am in the html view and type something like   oder – it will be completely cleaned or converted to - after closing the editor. I believed it stays as html at the html view forever?

This was – but after closing and reopening its no more html:

Thank you all :slight_smile:

I ran into the opposite of this the other day, where I changed a site to default to the rich text viewer and it converted all the html into rich text, e.g. I had <h2> tags around a headline string, I changed the site-wide setting to start defaulting to the rich text editor, and then just opening the text editor caused the full

tags to start displaying inline with the headline they were surrounding. And I couldn’t get that to revert back - had to rewrite all the HTML.

So, a close cousins to what you’re describing. Not sure if it’s been like this for a while - this is the first time I’ve run into this (I usually don’t have the rich text setting enabled)
