The htmlcleaner has been modified to optionally keep empty paragraphs. The
comment in the config is:
<!-- Sometimes you want to allow certain block elements with a single
whitespace character.
For example, Xinha creates a <p> </p> when the user inserts a
blank line. To make
it even more complicated, the non-breaking space inside the
paragraph element will be replaced
with a regular space by Xinha when the form is submitted, which
renders the paragraph as invisible
in the browser. Therefor you can configure the Htmlcleaner to force
the single whitespace character
to be a non-breaking space.
This feature is available in version 1.01.04 from the HtmlCleaner.
Example configuration:
<allowed-single-whitspace-elements>
<element name="p" forceNonBreakingSpace="true" />
</allowed-single-whitspace-elements>
