Identifier	#2401
Issue type	Trivial issue (does not break functionality)
Title	May be wise to force disable WYSIWYG on system command events
Status	Completed
Handling member	Chris Graham
Addon	calendar
Description	It may be wise to force disable the WYSIWYG editor and/or comcode/tempcode/html parsing on calendar events of the type system command. Otherwise, what can happen is things can be converted unintentionally to emojis or other tags, thereby breaking the actual PHP instructions.
Steps to reproduce
Funded?	No

A bit complex, as the event type selection happens on the form, so it would need to dynamically disable it. But a good idea.

I've documented the issue in the tutorial.
I have made it so on editing a system event WYSIWYG is disabled.

This should deal with the bulk of it.

Alternate solution (on top of my earlier tweaks): I've just hidden this event type for new events, unless a config option is flipped. Nobody uses it anyway, it's very much for power users.
