   Hi all!
   I have expirenced some problems while using the "more tag" feature of wordpress 2.5. Specifically, it happens that when I want to use the "more" feature to divide this text:
   

   <div>
   some text
   
   other text
   </div>

   wordpress produces this output
   

   <div>
   some text

   which obviously breaks my layout.
   A quirk trick to workaround this problem is this:

   Add this function somewhere in your function.php file (usually located in your own style's directory, under wp-content/themes/YOURLOOK/functions.php)
   

   function close_dangling_tags($html){
     #put all opened tags into an array
     preg_match_all("#<([a-z]+)( .*)?(?!/)>#iU",$html,$result);
     $openedtags=$result[1];
     asort($openedtags);
   
     #put all closed tags into an array
     preg_match_all("#</([a-z]+)>#iU",$html,$result);
     $closedtags=$result[1];
     asort($closedtags);  
   
     $len_opened = count($openedtags);
     for($i=0;$i < $len_opened;$i++) {
       if ($openedtags[$i]!="" && !in_array($openedtags[$i],$closedtags)){
         $html .= '</'.$openedtags[$i].'>';
       }
     }
   
     $len_closed = count($closedtags);
     for($i=0;$i < $len_opened;$i++) {
       if ($closedtags[$i]!="" && !in_array($closedtags[$i],$openedtags)){
         $html = '<'.$closedtags[$i].'>' . $html;
       }
     }
   
     return $html;
   }

   And add this lines, where the more tag is causing you problem. You'll usually have to replace the <?php the_content(); ?> block with the following one, search and replace for it in the file wp-content/themes/YOURLOOK/index.php)

   old block
   

   <?php the_content(); ?>

   new block
   

   <?php
   						 ob_start();
   							the_content('(Continua...)');
   					    	$the_content_text = ob_get_contents();
   					    ob_end_clean();
   						echo close_dangling_tags($the_content_text); ?>

   It works. It would be very useful to build up a single plugin based on this hack, if you'd like to do it, then you're welcome!

   Best regards from Italy,
