Assignment Marking guide displays differently after upgrade to 2.7.2

Hi,

we upgraded from 2.6.2 to 2.7.2 and have a small display issue within our marking guides.

The marking guides don't have a full text editor so to get the Description to students to display a little neater we added some HTML breaks and p tags to get line breaks etc.

This is the end result before upgrading :


Since we upgraded the HTML code doesn't work anymore. Is this a 'fix' or could it be a consequence of something else?

This is the result after upgrade:


I have since removed the html tags but does anyone know if there is any intention to add more editing tools into areas such as the marking guides?  It can look really messy without any editing functionality.

Note: we have force TinyMCE as our default editor and haven't gone with Atto. I found this tracker item which I voted for https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-47245 but it doesn't explain why it wont use the HTML tags at all anymore.

Regards,

Yvonne

Hi Yvonne,

We have this same issue - upgraded from 2.5 to 2.7 and lost html support in the marking guide descriptions.

Desperately need it back or we'll have to edit hundreds of marking guides to remove html tags. And they'll look awful without any formatting.

The problem persists in 2.7.7+ and 2.8.5.

The mini-editor idea (https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-47245) is a possible solution, but doesn't look like there's much interest from other users - so far.

Wonder if there's some way to hack it for now...?
