Turn off enclosing tags in CKEditor 3.0

Question

Is there a possibility to turn off the automatic enclosing of all written content within

in CKEditor 3.x?

I tried

  CKEDITOR.con         


        

Answer 1

Set such config:

    CKEDITOR.config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR
    CKEDITOR.config.forcePasteAsPlainText = true

Answer 2

MAKE THIS YOUR config.js file code

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config ) {

   //   config.enterMode = 2; //disabled <p> completely
        config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR // pressing the ENTER KEY input <br/>
        config.shiftEnterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_P; //pressing the SHIFT + ENTER KEYS input <p>
        config.autoParagraph = false; // stops automatic insertion of <p> on focus
    };

Answer 3

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;

Answer 4

I'm doing something I'm not proud of as workaround. In my Python servlet that actually saves to the database, I do:

if description.startswith('<p>') and description.endswith('</p>'):
    description = description[3:-4]

Answer 5

In VS2015, this worked to turn the Enter key into <br>

myCKEControl.EnterMode = CKEditor.NET.EnterMode.BR

Personally, I don't care if my resulting text only has <br> and not <p>. It renders perfectly fine and it looks the way I want it to. In the end, it works.
