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

Mon Dec 14 07:51:43 UTC 2009

I agree to some extent. But usually it is much easier to automate such
task. For example it is much simpler to add a filter to functions.php,
which will do that substitution for you. Some people endure additional
obligations, some don't. If they are ok with manual manipulations,
then it's an option, but what if they aren't?

I will digg for appropriate filter and let you know if I succeed.
