    Please let me preface this "bug" report with the caveat that I am brand new to MODx, CSS and HTML in general.

    While creating a chunk, I thought I would try using the TinyMCE edit for kicks instead writing raw html. It seemed to work fine until I decided I wanted to wrap the entire chunk in a <div>.

    I think what we started with was this:
    <p>
    <strong>GUILT-FREE FREE DOWNLOADS</strong>
    <p>

    </ol>
    </ol>
    <p>
    We are grateful simply for the opportunity you have given us to be of service to you&nbsp;
    </p>

    I then thought I would place the cursor at the beginning of the first line, click on the editor’s paragraph drop down box and choose div to see what would happen. To my surprise, I got this:
    <p>
    &lt;
    </p>
    <div>
    &gt;<strong>GUILT-FREE FREE DOWNLOADS</strong><!--
    <div-->
    &gt;
    <p>
    &nbsp;
    </p>

    Notice the stray < and > and the comment marks. I’ll do what I need to do by hand but I thought I should report this seemingly strange behavior. Thanks for a great product! - John

      Yeah, applying a DIV from the formatting menu is a bit quirky. Best bet would be to simply edit the raw HTML code and add in a DIV tag manually.
