Hello

This is about SageMathCloud. Sorry if this is now the wrong place for this.

Not too long ago, to edit a Sage HTML cell you could just shift+click on the line above a cell. This opened up a kind of WYSIWYG editor with some helpful buttons & the like. I'm quite sure this used to work in SageMathCloud, too. If I wanted, I think I could also edit the HTML directly, but the default as I recall was HTML. The editor had a fancy name, but I can't put my finger on it at the moment.

I was trying to show this to a class the other day, and it just wouldn't happen. Shift+click was no different from click. To create an HTML cell, you have to press a button or type %html, and while the helpful buttons come up as before, nothing I do seems to get WYSIWYG editing. And then pressing Shift+Enter gives you the nice HTML output but leaves the ugly HTML input above it. You have to click on a hidden triangle to make it disappear.

Am I missing something? Did it really change? If so, is there a way to get it back?

The right place is

TinyMCE is only in sagenb, and nowhere else. It's not and never has
been in SMC. I made:
