Turn off enclosing <p> tags in CKEditor 3.0


Is there a possibility to turn off the automatic enclosing of all written content within <p></p> in CKEditor 3.x?

I tried

  CKEDITOR.config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;

but this just changes the inline linebreaks to <br /> while leaving the enclosing paragraph.

Currently writing "Test" produces this output

<p>
    Test</p>

but I want it to be simply

Test

Is there a configuration property for this or would another inline editor to be better suited for this?


Solution

  • CKEDITOR.config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR; - this works perfectly for me. Have you tried clearing your browser cache - this is an issue sometimes.
    You can also check it out with the jQuery adapter:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/ckeditor/adapters/jquery.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function() {
        $('#your_textarea').ckeditor({
            toolbar: 'Full',
            enterMode : CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR,
            shiftEnterMode: CKEDITOR.ENTER_P
        });
    });
    </script>
    


    UPDATE according to @Tomkay's comment:

    Since version 3.6 of CKEditor you can configure if you want inline content to be automatically wrapped with tags like <p></p>. This is the correct setting:

    CKEDITOR.config.autoParagraph = false;
