 * I’m new to wordpress and I’m trying to get another unix app to create a post 
   that contains a small number of html tags.
 * I’m convinced that immediately before I call wp_insert_post, my `post_content`
   contains something like `<td class="myclass">some-data</td>` but by the time 
   it’s been posted it looks like `<td>some-data</td>`.
 * I’m completely in cotrol of the incoming text and all necessary style-classes
   are in my style sheet. Is there some way I can post my text intact?
 * Thanks.

 * I’ve found something that seems to force wordpress to do what I want but I can’t
   find it documented anywhere.
 * I’ve added `no_filter` to my `wp_insert_post` parameters.
 * Is this dangerous or is it a sensible thing to do?
 * Thanks
