How to configure CKEditor to allow html block-level tags to be wrapped in an anchor tag

Question

I would like to wrap a few block tags in a link (valid in HTML5):

  
foo
  
bar
         


        

Answer 1

At the moment CKEditor (4.2) is xHTML/HTML4 editor only. There's no support support for HTML5 DTD (which is dynamic, BTW) and this is the root of your problem. I'm also afraid there's no workaround/config since different DTD means different parser, so CKEditor is not the right tool for you. Sorry.

You can find more information in this ticket.

Answer 2

You can try doing something similar to this:

CKEDITOR.dtd.a.div = 1;
CKEDITOR.dtd.a.p = 1;
