Is there any way to preserve whitespace whenever we bind data to the editor or view source to make changes the editor discards original format.
This makes it difficult to edit in source view and difficult to support something like markdown where whitespace is used in the language grammar.

Hello Leblanc,
There is no easy way to leave the whitespace as it is, because the content gets serialized from the existing DOM. You could, however, use a HTML beautification script in the source view, in order to make the life of your users easy (or perhaps even using CodeMirror to make the editing experience a charm?)
From your example, however, can be seen that whitespace is also removed from preformatted tags (<pre>), which is clearly a bug (since visual formatting is lost). I have logged this in the issue tracking system, and we'll strive to fix it soon.
All the best,

thanks for creating a bug at least for pre tag whitespace lost.
When fixing this bug it maybe a good place to squeeze the following feature:
$("#editor1").data('tEditor').FormatOutput = false ;
http://docs.cksource.com/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/Configuration/Configuration_Options/FormatOutput
This will allow projects to use different syntax like markdown.
Meaning is lost if \s\s are converted to like it is today.
Goal: provide the user the exact content entered.
Without this feature viewsource editing is cumbersome as well as custom pluggins that modify the source to inject server side behavior when rendering content to the users.
thanks,
