  Hi there, I did some testing by adding a background colour to an HTML table. The formatting stayed put, even when flipping between the Visual and Text editors, and even on publication:

  <table bgcolor="#000000">
  <tr>
  <td>testing testing</td>
  </tr>
  </table>

  Please feel free to test this and let me know if this would be a solution to your issue, thanks!

  I was using it in the <td> tag … can you try it and see if you get the same result …

  Thanks …

  I’ve asked this before and was told it would be referred some 2 years ago – is it possibe to put ‘line numbers’ and ‘color coding’ in the editor … would make things so much easier when editing long posts with various inserts etc …

  The WordPress Text editor isn’t intended as a full-featured code editor, so you may want to consider editing your code in a separate code editor first, and then pasting it into the WordPress post box.

  I do have templates for each of the Authors – and post commentary into that template via the WordPress editor – the spell and grammer checker within WordPress is weak and US format … the comments editor has no spell check function…

  Everything was working fine until the glich this thread is about … the ‘line numbers’ is just a simple feature to help navigate the ‘text editor’ as would be the ‘color coding’ …
