Why does CKeditor add line breaks and paragraph before initial text?

Question

I have a web page with a CKEditor on it and my issue is that when I view source or post to the server, I am getting extra spaces and line breaks before the initial text that I type in the textarea.

Here is what I type

and when I click on source, here is what I see:

When I post this to the server, before the initial text I see:

  <p>\r\n\tWe do deli . . .

Does anyone know how I can change the settings so it doesn't add all of this extra paragraph and line breaks when I don't want them. Is this a setting on CKEditor or is this something that I need to deal with on the client? I notice that there is also a </p> at the end of the data.

Answer 1

I Fixed my problem by adding this code n my config.js (just replace br for p)

CKEDITOR.on('instanceReady', function (ev) {
        ev.editor.dataProcessor.writer.setRules('br',
         {
             indent: false,
             breakBeforeOpen: false,
             breakAfterOpen: false,
             breakBeforeClose: false,
             breakAfterClose: false
         });
    });

    config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;
    config.shiftEnterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;

It applies to all ckeditors avoiding the need of code being replicated ( ctrl + c + ctrl + v )
