SOLVED Font Awesome tags disappear after saving change in source html

[cygnet]

It has been for <i> and <span> , but they are commented out, we cannot decide how to handle this and which elements to remove for the user.

// prevent removal of empty inline tags
// CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty['i'] = false;
// CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty['span'] = false;

If you guys can vote on what elements should be included and if this is a innocuous change, I will consider it.

Thanks for this solution! That was driving me nuts
