I'm using the Cute Editor for a forum system where plain text and HTML formatted text must happily coexist. To make this work, I enclose every post in <pre style="whitespace: pre-wrap"> tags.

 

Now, whenever a post containing <br /> tags is displayed and I switch from Normal to HTML view, a line return is added after every <br /> tag, causing everything to become double spaced!

 

Is there any way to disable this? I tried setting DisableAutoFormatting=True but it didn't change anything. It would be perfect if I could use native line returns for the BreakElement property, but unfortunately, that isn't an option.

 

I don't want to use BreakElement=Div because it makes the code hard to read.

 

 

It seems more generally, that no matter what, when <br /> tags appear within pre-formatted elements, this double spacing phenomenon occurs.
