Can't get rid of <p>

[Danil]

When I select Heading 1 Style in style listbox, I can select it again to disable this style. But I can't disable <p> even when autoParagraph:false. I need to insert specific CMS tags, but CKEditor wraps it into paragraphs.

Either use Enter mode set to DIV or BR - ​http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.config-cfg-enterMode or use protectedSource - ​http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.config-cfg-protectedSource.

Please note that CKEditor is HTML editor - it works with HTML and knows nothing about your custom tags.

Depending on what CMS tags you need to be able to insert, instead of switching to BR mode, you can try writing a plugin that would simply remove the paragraphs when generating the HTML source code.

It should be quite easy to implement when 4.1 will be ready (editor#toHtml and editor#toDataFormat events will be introduced there, making any HTML modifications/transformations much simpler).

TinyMCE is also HTML editor. But it's Format combo allows to toggle Paragraph format (like other ones, such as H1, H2, pre etc)

In the CKEditor I try to toggle Normal format but nothing happens, just nothing. This is definitely bug. I have to switch to source mode, delete <p> and </p> and switch back to the wysiwyg mode. Such a complex action for such a simple result.

I'm surprised this ticket is closed instantly.

I don't want CKEditor to know my special cms tags, I just want it to let me to switch Format to None (like the TinyMCE). Why not? This behavior is a pain in the ass for many users.

Okay, check ​enter mode BR and let me know if this is what you're actually looking for?

[Danil]

No, I want CKEditor to use <p> , not <br>. But sometimes I need to remove some <p> wrappers when I don't need it. Ok, I'll prepare little demo with TinyMCE.
