 * I don’t know of an easy way to disable the html editor. I’m sure it is possible
   but it strikes me as a major project.

 * Hello
 * I havent disabled the text editor but i have installed a much improved version
   via the plugin [WP Advanced Code Editor](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-advanced-code-editor/).
   The plugin allowed me to fully edit a page of tables i have been struggling with
   for a few days. And don’t mention linguistic differences between US ‘center’ 
   and UK ‘centre’ which confused me for a while.

 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', create_function('', 'return "tinymce";') );
       add_action( 'admin_head', 'my_css_4_admin' );
       function my_css_4_admin() {
       	echo '<style type="text/css">#editor-toolbar #edButtonHTML, #quicktags {display: none;}</style>' . "\n";
       }
       ```
   
 * Thats works or you use the plugin Adminimize

 * the html editor is enabled/disabled on a per user basis.
 * go to users, select the one you want to edit and you’ll see a check box at the
   top of the page that asks if you want the html editor or not.
