Hello JCE Support,
I can't figure out why my JCE won't allow me to put break tags in my HTML sometimes. Sometimes I just want an extra blank line at the end of a Joomla article. For example, I have a table of data at the end of my article, followed by a closing </div>. Surely some setting in JCE Global Config or the default profile will solve my problem. Here's what I observe to be allowed and what isn't:
1) Between </table> and the closing </div>, exactly ONE <br/> tag is stripped. Two <br/> tags are preserved.
2) After the closing </div>, neither one nor two <br/> tags are preserved.
3) Within a paragraph, if I type <br/>, right after I type the closing angle bracket, JCE creates </br/>. What in the world is that? It's removed after I switch to the Editor tab and back and my one <br/> tag gets preserved in that case.
4) <p> </p> is preserved. But <p> and <br/> have different margins and padding associated with them. Why can't I have a single <br/> in the same place?
The stripping takes place when going from the Code tab to the Editor tab. I've already set Joomla to prevent stripping my article HTML by setting System Config > Text Filter Settings to allow Super Users (me) to have "No Filtering."
Even if I turn off "Validate HTML" in the JCE Global Config, the <br/> tags are stripped. And of course I prefer to have "Validate HTML" enabled in JCE.
I know you've answered this question a bunch of times, but none of the answers I've read today seem to solve my problem. Got any suggestions?
My Joomla version is 3.9.14 and JCE Pro version is 2.8.2. I think I've solved this problem in the past, but I checked three other Joomla websites, with about the same versions, and at all three websites, I see now JCE has trouble preserving my <br/> tags.
