Folks,

I use html code in my webpages many times. I format the code so it looks "pretty and easy to read". When I save the article in Joomla, the code gets all smashed together and I lose my formatting. Is there a way I can configure JCE Editor to hold my code format?

Thanks,
Joe

Formatting can only be retained if the content is saved while in the Code tab.

By default however, the Code tab does process and validate the HTML, removing formatting, so this needs to be disabled first.

In Editor Profiles -> Plugin Parameters -> Source Code Tab, set Validate Content to No.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

I have the same problem. All my html formating (for readability) is gone when I switch back from code to editor.

When you switch to the Editor tab, the code is processed, which results in the whitespace (tabs, returns, spaces between tags) being removed. When you switch back to the Code tab, the code is formatted again for readability.
