Newbie question - working but there are extra lines added in the source. Any way to prevent that?

Hi, I am a long-term fckeditor user and am biting the bullet and replacing the fckeditor with the ckeditor now. It was surprisingly easy to install and get to basically work!

I did run into one issue right away though, and I'm hoping somebody here can give me a pointer into what I can do.

The problem is extra linespaces appearing.

The first screenshot attached is what the editor looks like at my site when editing.

The 2nd screenshot attached shows what the result looks like when viewed after posting (you can see all the extra linespaces.

And I think I can see the cause - if I look at the source (3rd screenshot attached) it looks like there are extra lines in the source.

In fact, if I edit it in "source" mode and delete the extra lines and resubmit the end result looks fine.

I was wondering how to avoid those extra linespaces in the source to begin with.

Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks!

Do I maybe need to set

Do I maybe need to set something like this when invoking the editor?

CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1', {
    on: {
        instanceReady: function( ev ) {
            // Output paragraphs as <p>Text</p>.
            this.dataProcessor.writer.setRules( 'p', {
                indent: false,
                breakBeforeOpen: false,
                breakAfterOpen: false,
                breakBeforeClose: false,
                breakAfterClose: false
            });
        }
    }
});

That seems to help somewhat

That helped somewhat. If I add the above settings I get rid of the extra break before the <ul> tag, but not after. The source now becomes:

<p>Another list:</p>
<ul>
   <li>one</li>
   <li>two</li>
   <li>three</li>
</ul>

Sorry for the double entry.

Sorry for the double entry. Don't see how to delete it. Anyway, if somebody could point me to the best practice for these kinds of configurations to "get out the kinks" I would be really grateful.

Thanks,
