   Hello,

   I was hoping that in 2.3, the post editor would stop stripping out and rearranging formatting. But this was not to be!

   Has anyone resolved the issue of how to insert <br> type line breaks w/o them getting stripped when you re-edit something?

   thanks!

   Yes, we resolved it: we don't use the wysiwyg editor.
   When I say not to use it - I mean turning it off definitely in admin > Users > Your profile.
   Just switching between code/visual does NOT turn it off.

   Just for reference, the issue maybe because of the tag you're using. Just a <br> is not correct. It needs an ending slash in there. ie <br /> That may be why it's being removed.

   Nope. The wysiwyg animal is NOT for inserting your own code. It will remove it...

   Oh agreed. I just noticed the tag the poster was using and threw that in there.

   You were right about the correct syntax for the usual WP doctype (XHTML). However, that still doesn't help when the wysiwyg kicks in...

   Turning off the WYSIWYG editor solved my issue as well... it was adding code (http://www.domain.com/my-admin0) to links. Get rid of it!
