 * So i have the following code in my post:
 *     ```
       <p class="class"><strong>Text</strong><hr>
       <a href="http://link1.html" target="_blank">Link 1</a></p>
       ```
   
 * But on the frontend when i check the code i have:
 *     ```
       <p class="class"><strong>Text</strong><hr></p>
       <a href="http://link1.html" target="_blank">Link 1</a>
       <p></p>
       ```
   
 * Can i prevent this from happening?
