Enable CKEditor4 inline on span and other inline tags

ckeditor, contenteditable, html, inline-editing, javascript

Solution

Hack way to allow support for un supported tags:

CKEDITOR.dtd.$editable.span = 1
CKEDITOR.dtd.$editable.a = 1

Win.

Problem

I'd like to know if it's possible and how to enable the CKEditor4 inline/contenteditable editing feature on `<span>` and other inline elements. This is something which I cannot find in the official docs. With this markup: ``` <span id="editable" contenteditable="true"></span> ``` And either the standard configuration (AutoInline enabled) or this configuration: ``` <script> CKEDITOR.disableAutoInline = true; CKEDITOR.inline('editable'); // ID of the element to edit </script> ``` An error is reported: `The specified element mode is not supported on element: "span".` The same error is reported for `<a>` tags.
