So, in what can only be considered classic Marketo form at this point they have "updated" the email editor with such a broken pile of garbage that a considerable amount of additional time is necessary to fix and author emails now. The WYSIWIG editor is anything but and forces all sorts of extranneous and unwanted HTML at every turn. This is HUGELY disappointing that they would see fit to put out a feature that is clearly nowhere near production ready. We spend a lot of money on this service and expect better.
Here's a few issues that are bugging me, please feel free and add yours to the comments below, or just tell me that I'm nuts and that it's a wonderful editor...
Accessing HTML is a secondary menu
Bulletted lists create a formatting nightmare that can only be fixed by manually entering the HTML code
A white background is forced on colored text that can only be manually removed in HTML as well.
Can no longer edit the style of links without manually coding in HTML, or by clunkily using the editore which adds span tags and extranneous code
Advanced Image & Table style/properties are gone, have to manually code in HTML
Side-by-side html vs. text editor was intuitive and useful. It's gone.
VERY frustrating. A few searches deep and I see that in the Admin section I can at least revert to the old editor, but even that wasn't made clear by MKTO. The only good support is here in the forums. (I admit I'm in a cranky mood towards MKTO today)
ooooh shiny.
