Trying to validate my site The Motivational Speaker, I get missing closing tags for paragraphs within table cells. I cannot correct this manually, as the post editor simply strips my explicit tags and "corrects" the code, producing again the invalid XHTML.
See validation results.
Admin/Settings/Writing. Try toggling the "WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically" checkbox.

@esmi Thanks, but not such luck. On or off, I get the same result with a missing </p> before the </td>
Slight tangent but why are you adding <p> tags to table cells? Given that table markup is supposed to be reserved for pure data, paragraph tags have no place within a cell. Cell padding should be accomplished by CSS.
Just a though but have you tried leaving 1 blank line between your closing </p> and your closing </td>?

Actually, Wordpress (tinyMCE) is doing this, not me. There are no paragraph tags anywhere, because the post editor takes them out and only puts a blank line between two paragraphs, but when Wordpress creates the XHTML from my post, it replaces some things with paragraph tags.
As you can see on the site, I have a heading, followed by some text in a table cell. All I do is press Enter after the heading and then restyle the text as paragraph, which makes the editor remove the heading tags, but Wordpress replaces the opening tag later, except it doesn't do the same with the closing tag.
Me thinks it's a bug.

Yo, Wordpress developers! How about a little response for the nice man?
