   I have turned off "Use the visual editor when writing" so when I post I would like full control over the HTML, also I turned off "WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically"

   However... Wordpress still decides that a <p> tag is necessary on everything i put in that editor :/ now i could see generally how this would not be a problem, BUT, I want to put a <div> in there and Wordpress decides that it will wrap <p> around it now we have problems...

   Is there any way I can stop this short of doing some hunting and hacking of code?

   I don't know a way to change that, but why would you want to?

   If you don't like the margins of the p-tag, feel free to change them. Let's say, your posts are being displayed within in <div class="post"><p>*post-content*</p></div>... in that case you could add something like .post > p { margin: 0; } to your css-file.

   yah but again if i want to put a div in there it now becomes invalid markup you can't have <p><div> :/ thats why i would want to change that.

   And again, why would you want to put divs in there? Just for your sense of aesthetics and because you hate p-tags, or is there some reason why you really need it? If the latter, maybe there's another workaround, which would not require a div.

   you can turn off wpautop completely if you like .. theres a few plugins that do it or you can just edit default-filters.php

   assuming you are using 2.2:

   add_filter('comment_text', 'wpautop', 30); // comments
add_filter('the_content', 'wpautop'); // content

   just comment those out as you see fit.

   There is also a text control plugin that lets you do this on a post by post basis and also lets you use textile, etc..

   You'll have to hunt around for the plugins,
