I've used builtin editor of wordpress (the_editor - function) in a plugin to save rich text into the wordpress database.
Everything works ok except displaying the paragraphs and line breaks of the saved text back in the plugin admin pages or more importantly on the front-end.
The p-tags (which are automatically added to general posts) not show up when I display my saved text.
I use following code to write out text:
<?php echo stripslashes($item->question); ?>
li, b, u, ... tags are correctly shown only newline and paragraphs are ignored.
Suggestions?
