 * While editing pages, sometimes enters are removed, and sometimes there are two
   linespaces. Removing unesscary divs from the code seems to fix it.
 * Peace Be With You.

 * Can you provide some more details? If you are switching to and from the text 
   and visual editor then that will strip out your HTML.

 * If one only leaves the first and last div, things work fine. And yes switching
   from text and visual editor, changes things aswell.
 * Was there any particular item you wondered about?

 * So you have the answer as to why line-spaces and enters are removed, from Alchymyth.
   
   Linespaces and return carriages don’t matter with HTML, E.g
 *     ```
       <div>
        <p> ... </p>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Is the equivalent of
 *     ```
       <div><p> ... </p></div>
       ```

 * It seems the visual editor is doing this. If you switch to “html” editor, after
   the visual has stripped the linecarriages, exit the edit without save, and re-
   edit it goes directly to “html” editor, without stripping the linespaces.
