PS: Such a huge work last night ;o))

I'd always imagined that being the case considering the current templates are full of "div" tags and that's one of things dropped from the new infoboxes to ensure a correct display between different devices (IIRC).

Thanks, the character groups ones took me by surprise once editing the Toy Workshop, it was a bigger work than I thought but thankfully nothing complicated.

You can disable it in your preferences at "Editing -> Editing experience -> Do not show syntax highlighting in Source mode". However it will disable all syntax highlighting, so you will get a blank background when editing pages.

As a side note: If code is intended to be read and written by humans and you need your editor to wrap the lines for you, then this clearly indicates that there is something wrong with how your code was written :) Well, it's certainly pleasant I'm not the only one that doesn't like the change. The solution they provide is certainly lackluster, having to change the options over and over again does not speak good of said change IMO. I made the changes on the buildings template on Notepad++, while it was much better than in the new editor the lack of auto-complete of links made things more annoying, once you get used to a certain features is always hard to let them go (it's like trying to imagine the removal of the IRS, No, just no). The idea of copy-pasting it to a sandbox (or a regular page in my case) and working there seems to be the best workaround for now, since it's exactly like the old one.

As true as it is, you have to admit that there's lots of benefits to have a viualisation of a mistake being made, especially when it's something as simple as a punctuation mark.
