[TYPO3] Frustration! Tinyrte - lots of issues.

Many people say that Typo3 is difficult and that it takes an effort to 
learn.

I have invested this effort and the past couple of month I have managed 
to set up a dynamic multi language website. It's been though at times, 
but also a lot of fun.

So now I am finally ready to ad all my pages and content and now it 
seems that this will be the hardest part.

I am using TinyRTE to edit and form my content (because it handles 
styling of tables well). But often it seems that the way it handles the 
content is completely random.

Like just now: wrote 4 paragraphs with 2 pictures below. I save the 
pages and preview the page. Everything looks fine. The html is processed 
as 4 paragraph tags and to images.

Then I realize that I forgot to set the alttext for the images so I open 
the content element (text with image), type the alttext and click "save 
and close".

Now all of a sudden the 4 paragraph tags has merged into one single 
paragraph????????

Ok, so I edit the text again and click "save". And now everything looks 
fine. So I click on "save and close" with crossed fingers. But when 
viewing the page the 4 paragraph tags has again merged into one 
paragraph????????????

This is just one example! It seems that the code can change in all sort 
of ways even though I don't mess with it at all. If you change an image, 
   alignment or just about anything it can affect the code somewhere else.

So except from sharing my frustration I also have a question:

Is there a way to ad content that are consistent, precise, can handle 
tables and images and all the other elements that you need to build a 
nice webpage?
