CKEditor remove spaces/tabs from between headings

Question

CKEditor does this whenever I add a heading tag:

<h2>
    Mai 2010</h2>

How can I remove the new line and spaces after the h2 starting tag, please?

The way to do this without modifying CKEditor's source is to do the following:

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

+1 I think the question was about the `h2` tag, not the `p` tag but the answer’s great anyway. — Raphael Schweikert, Sep 06 '11 at 20:08

This is the default CKEDITOR behavior for a lot of tag. To avoid it, open the ckeditor.js file and search for this: n.setRules('title',{indent:false,breakAfterOpen:false}); and add this rule: n.setRules('h2',{indent:false,breakAfterOpen:false}); You can add this rule for each tag you want

Thank you! Is there a way to do this from the PHP config `side` rather than editing the CORE files? – Francisc Oct 19 '10 at 15:07
I'd also like to know how to do this via PHP config – designosis Sep 26 '11 at 11:36

Changing the source of plugins/libraries is not appropriate. Because when someone else upgrades a library in your application, someone else will have to figure out why an existing functionality broke. – cherouvim Dec 01 '11 at 16:13
