Editor: Keeps moving P tags outside of DD tags

    Using WP 3.4.2. Any reason why the Editor keeps moving paragraph tags (along with their contents) outside of DD tags even though it is allowed according to: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_dd.asp

    Actually, it moves the paragraph outside of the whole DL list. I do have “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” unchecked in the writing options.

    For now, I’m just using multiple DD tags instead of P tags but depending where the content is viewed, a DD element normally has no padding around it. Anyway, I can work around this issue but I’m just wondering why the editor thinks it needs to move the content like this.

    Thanks

    Is this happening on save? Or are you switching between html/visual editors at all?

    OK, I figured out what I was doing wrong. If I enclose everything inside the DD element with P tags, it keeps everything in place.

    It would move a paragraph outside the DL list if I had it coded as follows:

    <dl>
<dt>Some date</dt>
<dd>Some text here with no surrounding paragraph tags
<p>A new paragraph inside the DD element</p></dd>
<dt>Next item</dt>
<dd>Blah blah blah</dd>
</dl>

    However if it’s recoded as:

    <dl>
<dt>Some date</dt>
<dd><p>Some text here with surrounding paragraph tags</p>
<p>A new paragraph inside the DD element</p></dd>
<dt>Next item</dt>
<dd><p>Blah blah blah</p></dd>
</dl>

    Then all the paragraphs stay where they are.
