Question

I have a web page with a CKEditor on it and my issue is that when I view source or post to the server, I am getting extra spaces and line breaks before the initial text that I type in the textarea.

Here is what I type

and when I click on source, here is what I see:

When I post this to the server, before the initial text I see:

  <p>\r\n\tWe do deli . . .

Does anyone know how I can change the settings so it doesn’t add all of this extra paragraph and line breaks when I don’t want them. Is this a setting on CKEditor or is this something that I need to deal with on the client? I notice that there is also a </p> at the end of the data.

It’s a setting, you can disable it. See the docs on Output Formatting
