Tell HN: Apple Textedit breaks html pages

2 pointshellbanner4 comments

I just tried to make an HTML page with Textedit. It spits a bunch of meta tags (Generator=Cocoa Text) and other html that a) is unnecessary tracking and b) breaks loading HTML pages made in Textedit in all 3 major browsers.

Try it for yourself. Open Textedit, new document

<html> <body> <span title="Rollover test">My rollover</html> </html> </body>

and see what you get.

So now newbies to Mac apps can't even publish webpages, you can't have homosexual content or apps criticizing Apple's iOS production process on the app store, their warrant canary flew the coop and iTunesConnect logs you into different users. What the hell is going on with them?
