Documentation? <br> tags...

I was looking at the indite project for the same problem. I am trying to make it so people can continually reedit a document, but I am getting lots of unbalanced, ending </p>'s. Not sure how to get rid of them well or avoid them. Somebody mentioned maybe using HtmlNeko's Sax Parser to remove extra tags, but.... not sure what I will do yet. This BR thing might be a solution for me too even if I can't do all the formatting.

I have the same problem.

There is a big difference between IE and Firefox 1.0.

When entering CR/LF (enter) the result is different.

IE: <p>

FireFox: <br />

I have tried on my own server and even on the demo at http://www.fckeditor.net/Demo/

Same result both places.

Hit shift-enter to get a single-space. It's an IE feature, not a FCK bug.

Ups, I forgot to mention that I am interessted in getting a <p> in Firefox.

Right now it does not matter if I hit enter or shift-enter in Firefox both gives a <br />.

So my question is how do I get a <p> in Firefox ?

How do you get the editor to default to implementing <p> instead of <div> tags? I don't see anything in the documentation... Is it related to a Toolbar set? I wouldn't think so, but I don't see any configuration setting. Thanks if you can help, I feel like I'm missing something stupid.

You should not remove the use of <p> tags , because a lot of formatting is set in the <p> tags. But if you really need to , you may want to try to look at the config file for the last version . There is a mention of useBRLinecarrier or something like that in the configfile. (Maybe the function is in the beta but not set in the configfile ?)

You may try to set the <p> as margin = 0 (in css) and it will not have any space before or after

I tried using the config line:
FCKconfig.UseBROnCarriageReturn = true ;
but it would stop the editor from loading all together. Also, in the extended toolbar, when I tried to switch between {Normal [P]}{Normal [br]}{Heading 1}{Heading 2} it would not change anything.

The current default behavior we experience is <b> upon pressing Enter. I know this is an old question, but I cannot find a way to alter this behavior. The useBRoncarriagereturn (or something like that) seems to be ignored on Mozilla, and pressing <shift> for a <p> tag and <shift-enter> for <br> simply does not work. Though it would be a nice thing. Suggestions?

Just followup up here to say that useBRLinecarrier doesn't seem to be in my version. Think it is a post FC3 release.

I was able to force it by adding the following javascript at the end of the fckeditorcode_ie_2.js file (and the gecko version):
----------------------------------
FCK.ExecuteNamedCommand('FormatBlock', '<P>');
----------------------------------
In looking at the code it looked like it should have been executing this anyway - yet it wasn't... Oh well.

Does anyone have any information about ExecuteNamedCommand?

Yes.

See http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I tried this out, and it works. Cool! However, Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the unneeded <br /> tags?

For example, if I copy and paste in some paragraphs of text, and I am forcing the user to paste as text, the result is something like:

<p>This is one paragraph<br /><br />

This is another paragraph<br /></p>

Can it be set up to format the text like this:

<p>This is one paragraph</p>

<p>This is another paragraph</p>

???

If I were a regex guru, I could come up with something that would work for 98% of the time.

Alas, no guru here. Don't think search and replace was really what you wanted anywayz.

Dunno if the formatSource option does anything like this or not. Doubt it. Hrm. Well, maybe someon else knows. good luck!
