I use the HTML view when I edit the content on a page. When editing the HTML I add comments enclosed with comment markup (<!-- -->). However, when WordPress publishes the page it wraps all the comments in <P> tags which screws up the formatting of the page.
Is this a bug or is there a setting somewhere where I can tell it not to add the <p> tags?
Thanks!
It's not a bug. You'd need to create a custom callback for wp_list_comments in your theme.

Thanks. Any links to docs that will tell me how to do that?
Have a look at the page I linked to above.

I don't think esmi understand the problem. mattzellmer is asking about how to remove the <p> tags around the html comments (not the blog user comments). I sometimes put some html comments saying what the <div> block is like
<!-- start of main content -->
<div id='maincontent'>
some other tags or content
</div>
<!-- end of main content -->After I save this in the editor within wp-admin, WP render my content like this
<p><!-- start of main content --></p>
<div id='maincontent'>
some other tags or content
</div>
<p><!-- end of main content --></p>This has caused a problem for the layout

OK, I found a solution
It was posted here.
you have to edit
wp-includes/default-filters.php
and comment out
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );

Thanks for the help zenserve. I appreciate it!

Rather than editing a core file - meaning that your change will get overwritten every time you upgrade WordPress - I strongly recommend that you add the filter to functions.php in your theme instead:
