How to disable non-breaking space with the CERN Full HTML format?

Site building

Hi everybody,

Is there a way to disable the automatic insertion of non-breaking space   in the code when you are in CERN Full HTML format ?

I often encounter this issue when i insert HTML from source and then open the text component again.

Example :

<div class="separation-line"></div>

becomes <div class="separation-line">&nbsp;</div> when reopening the Text Component holding it.

I looked under Configuration > Text formats and editors but didn’t find anything relevant.

Thank you,

Maxime

Hey Maxime,

Try the following solution:

  1. Visit admin/config/content/formats/manage/cern_full_html in your website
  2. Click on configure on the format that you use
  3. Enable the " Convert line breaks into HTML (i.e. <br> and <p> )" option

Let me know if that solves your issue.

Hey @kplatis,

Thanks for your answer. I just tried and it doesn’t work. I still get &nbsp;

Hi Max,

This is the default behavior of the CKEditor. In order to fix this you need to add something to its configuration file which is not possible since you don’t have a local copy but you are using the version from infrastructure.

However you can use this module https://www.drupal.org/project/nbsp This is a known issue in Drupal and the community have created a module for it.

Hi @sboutas,

Ah i see, is it a fix that would eventually be helpful for the CERN community ? :slight_smile:

I installed the module you recommended but unfortunately the issue is still here. Checking or not the “Cleanup NBSP markup” doesn’t change anything, non-breaking space are still inserted by default.

@sboutas, i found the solution, using the no non-breaking space module :slight_smile:

Thank you very much for your help.
