Forcing a custom element to be a BLOCK-level element

Just a thought here, couldn't you replace your div with a span element instead? Or better yet, just inject custom CSS to make it treat your fake DIV element as you want it to be treated (I think you can switch inline/block using CSS right?). Does that sounds like it might work?

Any help here? I really want to know it too.

BTW, what I'm trying to do is this:

I've created a new element called <secao> used in Source mode that has only one attribute called "nome", so my element is used this way:

<secao nome="Example"></secao>

Inside this tag, I can have many others elements including another <secao>. My <secao> tag works like a Fieldset element (a wrapper with a label).

Well, to represent it in Visual mode, I created a few elements used in this structure:

<secaoview>
  <secaotitle>Example</secatotitle>
  <secaobody>
  </secaobody>
</secaoview>

To achieve what I want, I'm using some customized DTD like this:

// secao is a body element, so it won't be wrapped by <p> tags
CKEDITOR.dtd.$body['secao'] = 1;

CKEDITOR.dtd.$block['secaoview'] = 1;
CKEDITOR.dtd.$block['secaotitle'] = 1;
CKEDITOR.dtd.$block['secaobody'] = 1;

CKEDITOR.dtd.$blockLimit['secaoview'] = 1;
CKEDITOR.dtd.$blockLimit['secaobody'] = 1;

// nonEditable so user can't change "nome" typing directly, it should use dialog helper
CKEDITOR.dtd.$nonEditable['secaotitle'] = 1; 

// declaring new elements in secaoview, otherwise editor crashes
CKEDITOR.dtd['secaoview'] = {
 'secaotitle': 1,
 'secaobody': 1
};

CKEDITOR.dtd['secaotitle'] = {'#': 1}; // secaotitle only has to have TextNode elements
CKEDITOR.dtd['secaobody'] = CKEDITOR.dtd['div']; // secaoboyd should behaves and accepts whatever "div" accepts
CKEDITOR.dtd['secaobody']['secaoview'] = 1; // augmenting secaobody scopes to accept another secaoview element

Well, everything is working all right, but my problem is this:

When I walk around my text using keyboard arrow keys, I can't edit my "secaotitle" element but I can walk inside with cursor inside this. When CKEditor recognizes I'm walking inside my textnode inside "secaotitle" it automatically wraps <p> around this textnode and brokes.

How do I avoid this anoying <p> wrapping my textnode inside my custom element "secaotitile"?
