Hi @Rueff19 Yes, TinyMCE treats all empty elements that don't have meaning in html as empty space, same as browsers treat them. <span></span>, <div></div>, even <p></p>are not displayed in the browser. If they have any attributes, they are not removed.

[ghost]

@Rueff19 work around
The second, more stable solution was to use a html comment tag, this doesn’t have the side effect of visually outputting any extra markup as per the previous option.

<i class="fa fa-gamepad"><!-- icon --></i>

[Rueff19]

@engcom-backlog-nazar Thank you, as ver 2.2 allows it I thought it was something more complicated.
Thanks for the quick reply and work arround.

[Rueff19]

@engcom-backlog-nazar
With the <!-- Icon -->, another thing is that it now changes the <i> tag to <em>.
In this case it doesn't affect the outcome but might be something worth looking into.

Is there any update or workarund to this?
We just encountered this issue with one of our merchants.

<!-- Icon --> updates the <i> element to <em> as mention in the comment above...
