I can’t say how annoying this is. It seems to not travel across themes. I am sure that the themes are adding CSS code for spacing. I also think that is ridiculous. Why would I type
if I did not want a line break. and if I want one there why would you remove it???

I have no idea why this WordPress feature even exists.

I also have tried those plugins and with no luck. And I only use the HTML editor not the TinyMCE (WYSIWG).
I am following this post http://wordpress.org/support/topic/274339 hoping that WP will learn that this feature causes frustration and stop it.

I don’t understand why this is even a problem. When I check the source code of a live page their is no tags at all. They are stripped out. I have tried all the forums. I have adjusted the css, added styles, tried inline styles. Nothing let me create a simple break between paragraphs. This seems to me to be plain stupid. 12/25/2008

Yeah this is seriously annoying. I have the rich editor turned off completely and can’t get a line break for the life of me. I’m just going to use the work around priv mentioned.

Just noticed same thing on my blog, I either have to add spacing to my tags through the css which will be a nightmare. or live with badly formatted blog text.

Thats a very bad mistake on their part, it should respect br / tags…

Using

is a work-around.

Add one of that you can have about two-line extra space between paragraphs.

(But things are more complicate as I complained here, and currently I don’t have a solution to have one-line space in lists without breaking the html)

Another way I can think of, is using inline css to adjust the space between paragraphs, but that’s crazy.

Actually I’m giving up currently.

hi there,

I know how you feel, I need spaces too. I even tried some plugins that promise to let you choose how each psot will be formated, individually, but I have not found a working one for wp 2.1

I NEED spaces, what to do? have you found a solution yet? do you know which file is responsible for filtering? there must be a file which has soem tags defined that will get stripped and a lsit for tags that are allowed, if you find out which file that is, we can modify it so we can use whichever tags we want…
