If you want CKEditor to output valid HTML4 code instead of XHTML, you should configure the behavior of the dataProcessor
.
For some tips on how to achieve this, check the Output Formatting section of CKEditor 3.x Developer's Guide as well as the Output HTML (output_html.html
) and Output XHTML (output_xhtml.html
) samples that can be found in the _samples
directory of CKEditor installation package.
If, for example, you want CKEditor to output the self-closing tags in the HTML4 way, creating <br>
elements instead of <br />
, configure the selfClosingEnd
setting in the following way.
CKEDITOR.on( 'instanceReady', function( ev ) { ev.editor.dataProcessor.writer.selfClosingEnd = '>'; });
