完全禁用CKEDITOR解析器

Question

I have seen many many posts on this, but no real answers, surely there's a way I can disable the parser so that it doesn't reformat my content at all?

The only reason I want to do this, is because CKEDITOR doesn't yet support HTML5, so something as simple as a block element inside an anchor can completely ruin a template.

Inside the ckeditor.js core file, I've found the CKEDITOR.htmlParser.basicWriter class. It looks like this is the main parser, I was wondering if someone could take a look at the source and see if there's a way to just return the static code before it formats it?

I haven't tried anything as I'm not really sure where to go. I've had a look but it seems a bit beyond me.

I've tried using the config.protectedSource option, and using allowedContent = true , however this doesn't solve all my issues so this is why I'm asking if someone can help me disable the parser.

If you parse html like this as a demo, and swap between wysiwyg and source mode, it should not format it at all.

Can someone help with this?

Short answer: don't try to do that. CKEditor's data processor makes content editable in contenteditable elements and without it you'll hit dozens of problems.

Native contenteditable is totally broken and this a reason why CKEditor has such complex data processor with parser, filters, transformations and thousands LOC that use them. This makes implementation of support for transitional elements (block/inline links) so hard.
