Editor adds <p>&nbsp</p> on every enter

Question

I've got a problem with CKEditor in Drupal 8. I've searched related questions like CKeditor adds extra <p> tags, but almost all questions are related to Drupal 7.

So, my CKEditor automatically applies a <p>&nbsp</p> when I hit enter and don't type anything.

How can I disable this? I don't want to remove the padding or anything of a <p> tag. I need something that checks if the paragraph is empty and then don't display it.

Answer 1

have you tried toggling off the "Convert line breaks into HTML (i.e. <br> and <p>)" setting on the text input format?

Answer 2

A solution for Drupal 7: WYSIWYG module, br instead of p tags in Drupal 7. Although I am pretty sure you can use modify this for D8 as well.

function hook_wysiwyg_editor_settings_alter(&$settings, $context) // replace hook with your module name
{
  if($context['profile']->editor == 'ckeditor')
  {
    $settings['enterMode'] = 2;
    $settings['shiftEnterMode'] = 1;
  }
  elseif($context['profile']->editor == 'tinymce')
  {
    $settings['forced_root_block'] = FALSE;
    $settings['force_br_newlines'] = TRUE;
    $settings['force_p_newlines'] = FALSE;
  }
}
