tinymce remove text spaces and line breaks

Question

I have initialised tinyMCE like so:

        $(\'#description\').tinymce({
        // Location of TinyMCE script
        script_url : \'tinymce/jscripts/tiny_         


        

Answer 1

In case anyone comes across this in the future, we were having issues with linebreaks being stripped and tried just about every suggestion we could find, with no luck.

I came across this solution here: http://community.tinymce.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5636, and it did the trick perfectly.

Add the following two lines two the tinyMCE.init() function, by default they seem to be set to false.

force_p_newlines : true,
force_br_newlines : true

Answer 2

You can manage it by adding another argument remove_linebreaks

$('#description').tinymce({
// Location of TinyMCE script
    script_url : 'tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js',
    // General options
    width : "830",
    height: "300",
    theme : "advanced",
    theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
    theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom",
    theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
    theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,bullist,numlist,",
    theme_advanced_buttons2 : "",
    theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
    theme_advanced_buttons4 : "",
    force_br_newlines : true,
    force_p_newlines : false,
    gecko_spellcheck : true,  
    forced_root_block : '', // Needed for 3.x

    remove_linebreaks : false,

    plugins : "paste"});

But this depend on the tinyMCE version you are using. Because in the below site they say the attribute is not available in some version. http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration3x:remove_linebreaks
