<p>redactor still strips any html I added if I go back and make changes through the WYSIWYG side, which means all editing has to be done through HTML. Definitely not a solution, but it's the only way I've been able to edit image size/alignment (which is another feature they apparently removed in redactor 2).</p>

You definitly do not need to add the "source" plugin manually!

Well, Craft 2.5 already includes the plugin for you. It's in the app folder and ready for use! https://github.com/pixelandtonic/Craft-Release/tree/master/app/resources/lib/redactor/plugins

<p>I've noticed the <code>HTML</code> option above Rich Text Fields for entries is now gone in Craft 2.5, regardless of being configured as <code>Default</code>, <code>Simple</code>, or <code>Standard</code>.</p>

<p>Is this a feature that has been removed from Craft in v2.5+? I currently have a ton of content that relies on custom HTML outside of what's available in the format bar, so this would be pretty devastating.</p>

<p>Am I overlooking where this option is now?</p>

Custom HTML in Rich Text Fields
# Custom HTML in Rich Text Fields

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-12-02)

I've noticed the `HTML` option above Rich Text Fields for entries is now gone in Craft 2.5, regardless of being configured as `Default`, `Simple`, or `Standard`.

Is this a feature that has been removed from Craft in v2.5+? I currently have a ton of content that relies on custom HTML outside of what's available in the format bar, so this would be pretty devastating.

Am I overlooking where this option is now?
