When all tags are empty, Trumbowyg cleans content but should keep it

[noistudio]

Informations

Try to insert .
<a href="#"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a> <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-instagram"></i></a> <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-behance"></i></a> <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-vk"></i></a> <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-youtube"></i></a>

After press show html.
After that return back,and you can see the editor is empty

Yep, because there is not text. Trumbowyg think all that empty tags are not wanted and empty the editor.

Maybe add an option like keepEmptyTags would be a possible solution? Because I think in the most cases the current behaviour is the wanted behaviour.

Your inserted html is part of a syntax which works for you environment, because you have font-awesome installed.

I think for a normal user it makes more sense to use images and link those images instead rely on css elements which are only present on the current page.

Where in the code are empty tags being stripped out? I need this too so I would be happy to add the keepEmptyTags option.

Just wanted to say thanks for adding this - our customers often use this to add simple containers like <div class="my-custom-container"></div> and then style it with some custom CSS.

Much appreciated!
