Breaks stripped

Thanks for getting back to me.

The site uses a default "Full html" input.

I have just tried to add a Comment to a Task with the pre-publication source code looking like this:

This is an attempt to track<br />
<br />
a <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Problem</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
That <br />
<br />
<br />
I seem to have with the stripping of breaks&nbsp; in storm<br />

It rendered with only ONE single break between each line, like this:

This is an attempt to track

a

Problem

That

I seem to have with the stripping of breaks  in storm

and its post-publication source code is:

<div class="content">
    <p>This is an attempt to track</p>
<p>a </p>
<p>
<strong>Problem</strong></p>
<p>
That </p>
<p>
I seem to have with the stripping of breaks&nbsp; in storm</p>
      </div>

I then went back and edited a Task for which the source is:

These are the nodes that you will need to check to see whether you want the URL or Email addresses changed to fit this new site.<br />
<br />
<br />
The references to Site A are:<br />
<br />
URL 25 46 30 72 83 102 51<br />
Email 78 24<br />
<br />
The references to Site B are:<br />
URL 46 71 1 47 52<br />
Email 80 131 1 51 52

Which looks like this after a save:

These are the nodes that you will need to check to see whether you want the URL or
Email addresses changed to fit this new site.
The references to Site A are:
URL 25 46 30 72 83 102 51
Email 78 24
The references to Site B are:
URL 46 71 1 47 52
Email 80 131 1 51 52

with a source code after save of:

<div class="value"><p>These are the nodes that you will need to check to see whether you want the URL or Email addresses changed to fit this new site.</p>
<p>
The references to Site A are:</p>
<p>URL 25 46 30 72 83 102 51<br>
Email 78 24</p>
<p>The references to Site B are:<br>
URL 46 71 1 47 52<br>
Email 80 131 1 51 52</p>
</div>

So it does look as if it affects both Task and Comment.

The FCKEditor version is 6.x-2.0-beta1

The settings in the FCKEditor Default Profile for SHIFT and SHIFT+ENTER are a BREAK (not a paragraph).

I doubled checked that the Advanced Profile did not apply to the role I have, and re-tried adding a Comment with the same rendered result as above.

Thanks for the inadvertent tip. I didn't realise that HTML is meant to strip out BREAKS in particular. I certainly hadn't seen/noticed that on the other CMS I use.

As I loathe PARAGRAPHS I had just recently set the FCKeditor Default Profile on this Drupal site for an ENTER to render as a BREAK. This had not affected 'pages' that I had transfered from the old site to the new one as they were full of paragraph markers anyway - I guess thats why I thought it was a STORM issue as Task and Comments have been the only content I have had to create on the site from scratch.

So just now I set the ENTER default back (sigh) to PARAGRAPH and the formatting seems better.

Thanks again.

The other thing that I am wondering about is because Drupal is XHTML compliant which recognises <br /> as a break, that if I used <br> (HTML) could this be a work-around. Do <br> get stripped?

Thank you. I didn't fully understand that you had given me the solution in #5 as this was not an area or feature of Drupal that I was familiar with.

I have just gone to admin/settings/filters/2 and switched off 'line break convertor' and given it a go. It does look as if it will works now.

I appreciate your help.
