203259 - Does not save some WWW pages correctly.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

I use a Meta language called WML - Web Meta Language. THis language allows me 
to compile my pages on a WWW site but the use of #INCLUDE, #USE, Custom Tags, 
Embedded perl etc.

I occasionally need edit in Composer for the content rather than for 
paramaters for the includes. When I do this I need to tell it to "RETAIN 
ORIGINAL SOURCE FORMATTING" else it will totally change the formatting of my 
document.

Even when I say RATAIN, I get other corruptions - such as the first line being 
added saying that this is HTML, Any single TAGS that I have defined (such as 
<FOOTER> which includes my standard footer) now have a corresponding close 
tage (such as </FOOTER>.

Any tags that the application does not understand should be left unmodified. 
The application does not add a closing tag for <BR> so why should it do it for 
other tags?

Please remember that not all HTML editing is done on PURE HTML pages. An 
editor should only edit a part of a docuemnt that I cange. If I want to edit a 
PHP document it should be able to di it

Future; Composer is for pure html today (maybe some day it will do more)

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
