[wp-hackers] newlines from rich text editor do not convert to paragraphs

Sun Dec 13 15:51:53 UTC 2009

I think I was going on about the html *mode* of the wp editor, not *html*itself.

It's not a firefox only issue. I see this in safari and internet explorer.

Simple fix: use the html *mode of the editor* to insert line breaks by *hitting
the return key*.
Then switch back to visual format  to do your rich text stuff * *then switch
back to html mode* *and save.
if you save your changes in visual mode you run the risk of losing some
formatting.In this case, line breaks.
People usually love having options.
why  only  use 1 mode of the wp editor when there are 2?
