   I know wp puts in line breaks in the posts in the html it generates. I'm using my own php file - must be mad :-) - is there any simple way I can put the line break in myself?

   Thank you

   Any HTML tags you manually place in a post are retained by WordPress, and it should not attempt to double-up on them (i.e. place paragraph tags around yours, etc).

   Thank you, Kaf.
   I should have been clearer. I'm generating the web pages using php pages, not using WP. When I put a post in the db, I just use an 'enter' for a line break. Looks fine in the post form. When my php page picks up the post from the db, I need to put a line break in where it should be before displaying. I know WP does this. I need a little php code to do the same thing, but I don't know what to look for in the post to replace.
   Best wishes
   Greg

   You should try the nl2br function. You can read about it at the PHP website here:
