Disable html validation and cleanup in CKEditor (for table structure)

We have additional placeholders, which are embeded in conent edited by CKEditor and we need to be possible to place such placeholders before and after TR-tag, so we could organize repeating of data in the table. But CKEditor probably find that is not valid HTML and take out repeater placeholders before the table.
For example I write next html in source mode:

<table><tbody>{start}<tr><td>...</td></tr>{end}</tbody></table>

I switch to html mode and back to source, now my html is treated to the next view:

<p>{start}{end}</p> <table><tbody><tr><td>...</td></tr></tbody></table>

Possibly there is a CKEditor switch to turn off all syntax cleanup or specially for tables?

CKEditor is not a source code editor, but a WYSIWYG editor which uses browsers' contenteditable implementations for its editing feature. Therefore, it needs to work on valid and real HTML.

Although, check the config.protectedSource setting. You'll be able to hide those {start|end} tags from parser.
