Protected source code not displayed in WYSIWYG mode

[fournaise]

If you enter in source view mode this code :

<table border="1">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>
				test</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

and switch to WYSIWYG mode the table is displayed.

Now, if you add in config.js this following instructions :

config.protectedSource.push(/<table[\s\S]*?table>/g);

The same source code is ok in source view mode but in WYSIWYG mode, nothing is displayed !?

Is it the expected result ? Why not render the source code ? What do you think about have an transparent layer on the element to avoid modification ? do you plan to release an placeholder plugin or placeholder on protected source ?

True.

Why not render the source code ?

We're sorry that the documentation of ​CKEDITOR.config.protectedSource is a bit confused, it actually does preventing codes that are protected to be displayed in WYSIWYG.

Yes, we've already releases this feature in the past ​3.4 version.
