How do I stop drupal and/or ckeditor from changing some of my work to special characters?

For example I want to enter " and in the html code it will say & quot ; (with the spaces removed).

It does this for many other things including < > ' & etc...

I don't want things converted to the long html charachters if that is the right way to describe it.

Can anyone help? I now have no hair left...

Thanks,

Sam

At least with the following three characters &, < and >, it makes no sence *not* to convert them into the special codes you have seen. Most browsers will display these when surrounded by spaces, but it is obvious that they could be confused with HTML, leading to their disappearance and crippled page display for your visitors.

You can switch the WYSIWYG off by clicking at the link at the bottom of the input box, but even then a filter might corrent or remove your characters.
