jqte text editor is changing html tags

Question

I am using jqte as a text editor with my CodeIgniter application however when I save the content it's converting the tags which I don't want it to do.

For example, I would like it like this:

<p>Lorum ipsum<br />dolor simit</p>

but instead it is changing to this:

<p>Lorum ipsum<br>dolor simit<p>

How do I convert it back?

In php you can use

<?php
 echo htmlspecialchars_decode($your_string);
?>
