Can you clarify what you mean by "when i update the styles in the editor the styles is not getting saved"?

[dinakaran]

thanks spohlenz for answer:) for example if i applied h1 tag on the editor area on the edit page it is showing the h1 tag. but when i save the content the h1 tag is not appearing on the view template

I have the same issue, basically. When I apply a font size or family in the editor and save my post, it shows up in my db as having been changed, but when I display it I don't get the changes.

[spohlenz]

When outputting the content in your template, you need to call html_safe on your content to ensure that the output is not escaped. e.g.

<%= @post.content.html_safe %>

I tried that. I get bold or italics, but not the font or size.

[spohlenz]

Are the font size/family styles definitely being saved to the database? Is another !important CSS rule possibly overriding it?

[markmohr15]

yes, i'm looking at the entries in the rails console right now. Not using any !important rules.

[spohlenz]

Can you please paste the HTML that is being output when rendering the page, as well as the HTML as it appears in the database?

[markmohr15]

[spohlenz]

Are you running the output through any other helpers such as simple_format? What is the code you are using to output the HTML?

[markmohr15]

Here's the entire code of the page:

Ok, wow, i'm an idiot. I don't even remember adding simple_format, but there it is.....Thanks spohlenz
