Disabling HTML Character conversion... broken?

I've searched the forums and it seems this is a problem for a couple dozen other people.

I don't want CKEditor to convert angle brackets to character entities when switching to SOURCE mode and using the documentation and browsing the forum I haven't been able to have much success. It also POSTS the data like this no matter which mode I am in, which is a problem as well.

I have tried solving this problem by putting this code in the config.js file:

config.htmlEncodeOutput = false;
config.entities = false;
config.entities_greek = false;
config.entities_latin = false;

Nothing has happened. I've tried setting these in the code and it didn't work either:
<script type="text/javascript">
CKEDITOR.replace( 'message', {
filebrowserImageBrowseUrl : '../ckeditor/Browse.jsp',
filebrowserWindowWidth : 100,
filebrowserWindowHeight : 100
});
CKEDITOR.config.height = 500;
CKEDITOR.config.htmlEncodeOutput = false;
CKEDITOR.config.entities = false;
CKEDITOR.config.entities_greek = false;
CKEDITOR.config.entities_latin = false;
</script>

Here are other people having the same issue, so is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

in config.js file prevents the default behavior, that is transforming greek letters to html entities. However in my case nothing has happened, anyone answering this, is welcomed. I don't want to revert to TINYMCE module. I also tried the above with the prefix CKEDITOR.

waiting for your help and your valuable help

tried it...doesn't do anything although it should..

I don't understand this conversation, I may be a bit thick, so please forgive me.

My main issue was:

ISSUE 2: If I type HTML into the WYSWYG editor, something that is not unreasonable, since we often want to write ABOUT HTML, then the editor correctly converts it to HTML entities, and I can see it in the database. It renders correctly if the page is viewed. However, when it is opened for editing again, the HTML entitites are removed and all the code is removed and converted to a paragraph with a nonbreaking space. This makes it impossible to write about HTML or Script.

David, is that solved by the PHP integration? If so can we move on. If not, can we please continue to try to find a solution. This is a killer problem and we need to solve it.

Thanks for any help.
