I have seen several post with instructions to use <br style="clear: both;" /> when trying to force text underneath floated images. One page that talks about this is http://codex.wordpress.org/Wrapping_Text_Around_Images
However, I now discover that this only seems to work when I have "superadmin" rights. With lower privileges, even as a normal admin for a blog, whenever I write <br style="clear: both;" /> in a post, it is automatically replaced with <br />.
Am I doing something wrong?
Don't bump.
That page is suggesting you do some invalid HTML, but yes, there are greater restrictions on non-admins than admins in MultiSite. The problem is more how TinyMCE parses these things, though.

At least because of bumping, I now got a reply :)
Thanks for confirming my problem and pointing me in the right direction for a solution! I will start to investigate alternative editors.
By the way, I don't see any invalid HTML among the suggestions from that page. At least <br style="clear: both;" /> is perfectly valid.
No, you got a reply cause someone reported your bump to a mod, which is bad behavior. Hint hint. Also I deleted the bump.
The BR is valid HTML, but it's invalid (or rather poor form) to use it to style formatting.
