[Plugin: CKEditor For WordPress] disable auto tag closing

Hi

I have come across an issue with auto tag closing. I am using syntax highlighter to add code snippets. The code I am adding is in XML

The problem I am having is that the editor closes XML tags in my code snippet and also remove the “/” sign at the end of some of the tags and instead add a closing tag

My questions
1) Can I config the Ckeditor not to do auto tag closing
2) Why it does not recognize tags which ends with </> and remove the “/” ? Amy solution to that

Thanks
David
