CKEditor output in BBcode format not HTML

Question

I'm using CKEditor in a form. When I submit that form the content of I wrote in the text area of the CKEditor is saved in database in such format [b]helllo[/b][size=100]fefdf[/size]:*). In another page when I retrieve the data it shows in HTML as same [b]helllo[/b][size=100]fefdf[/size]:*) instead of the output in BBCode format. Can anyone help me with how to get it in BBcode format? What I want: What I am getting: JavaScript questions and answers, JavaScript questions pdf, JavaScript question bank, JavaScript questions and answers pdf, mcq on JavaScript pdf, JavaScript questions and solutions, JavaScript mcq Test , Interview JavaScript questions, JavaScript Questions for Interview, JavaScript MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions)

Answer 1

I deduce that BBCode option is activated when you call the editor (see this example code), so that shouldn't be the issue. One thing you could try is setting the basicEntities config to false. Taken from the CKeditor API: {Boolean} CKEDITOR.config.basicEntities Since: 3.0 Whether to escape basic HTML entities in the document, including: nbsp gt lt amp Note: It should not be subject to change unless when outputting a non-HTML data format like BBCode. Defined in: plugins/entities/plugin.js. config.basicEntities = false; Default Value: true
