<i></i> tag being stripped out of PowerCMS areas?

I use standard Font Awesome classes to style bulleted lists, like this:

<ul class="fa-ul">
<li><i class="fa-li fa fa-check"></i>List item</li>
<li><i class="fa-li fa fa-check"></i>List item</li>
<li><i class="fa-li fa fa-check"></i>List item</li>
</ul>

When this code is used within a PowerCMS editable area, it initially displays OK but as soon as I try to Edit the region (and before I've actually made any edits), if I look at the Source code the <i> tags have disappeared so I'm left with this:

<ul class="fa-ul">
<li>List item</li>
<li>List item</li>
<li>List item</li>
</ul>

Any way I can stop this from happening?

This may be fixed in a more recent version of the html editor. If you give me FTP access and a url where I can reproduce the problem I can see if updating to a newer version will fix it.

Hi Ray, that would be great thanks - details in PM section.

Updating the ckeditor didn't help. However I was able to find a solution. I added this to the webassist/ckeditor/config.js file:

CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty['i'] = false;

That seems to have corrected the problem.

That's great thanks Ray, it's done the trick. I have one CMS governing several separate related sites so I'll copy this file over to the other sites too.
