   Try typing:

   hello
   my
   friend

   in non-WYSIWYG editor.

   It will result just like what you typed it. According to HTML, it should print "hello my friend", without line breaks, since it doesn't contain
   .

   This makes it very inconvenient, e.g. to compose your article in a HTML editor, then copy & paste in WordPress's non-WYSWIYG editor, then find out that your posts has unwanted linebreaks all over it.

   That's not a bug, it's a feature. WordPress automatically inserts linebreaks and paragraph markers and such to make your post look more or less what like what you think it should be. Not everybody knows HTML.

   If you want to disable this behavior, use this plugin:
