Jon – BRs after images? What the H E double hockey sticks are you doing? Change our IMG spacing in the CSS, and save yerself a wealth of problems later.

Can you tell me what’s supposed to be on line 402? I don’t want to replace something that was needed.

402 on my page shows: $double_chars['out'] = array(‘OE’, ‘oe’, ‘AE’, ‘DH’, ‘TH’, ’ss’, ‘ae’, ‘dh’, ‘th’)

Also, the config file for the editor is not where you said it is. I’m using WPMU 2.7 The js directory only has subdirectories.

Excellent tip. I was having a nightmare adding line breaks to create spaces beneath images. In my formatting file the line to edit was actually 608, so maybe this needs to be updated. Could be a Wordpress 2.7 change?

Using Wordpress 2.6.3 tonight, the editor was definitely stripping line breaks out. I’m not sure what other things it might be doing, but I am certain about the line breaks.

The code is different, but your post helped me find the code to change. In wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/tiny_mce_config.php you’ll find a list of items under $initArray = array ( … There is a statement where you just change ‘true’ to ‘false’ —

‘remove_linebreaks’ => true,

There are a couple of other lines I may play with later (for now I am happy to keep the line breaks). These are:

‘relative_urls’ => false,
‘convert_urls’ => false,

From Matt Mullenweg’s recent post on WordPress.org about the new stable version of WordPress … http://wordpress.org/development/

“Friendlier visual post editor — I’m not sure how to articulate this improvement except to say “it doesn’t mess with your code anymore.” We’re now using version 3.0 of TinyMCE, which means better compatibility with Safari, and we’ve paid particular attention this release to its integration and interaction with complex HTML. It also now has a “no-distractions” mode which is like Writeroom for your browser.”

This explains a problem I was having yesterday in that I couldn’t understand why my code wasn’t being corrected when I clicked save
