 * Hi,
 * I’m having problems with WP changing my html code when posting or creating a 
   page…
 * From reading the post, I gather there are two options…
 * 1. Disable the rich visual editor – not an option for us.
 * 2. install the Text control plug in.
 * I installed the plug in but can’t find any instructions on how to use it.
 * There are two drop down menus and have no idea how to use them.
 * Menu 1
    Default (wpautop) Textile 1 Textile 2 Markdown nlr2b No formatting
 * Menu 2
    Default (webtexturize) Smarty pants No character encoding
 * Can someone please tell how and when to use these features?
 * Thanks
    Ann

 * Read the first sentence
 * I’m having problems with WP changing my html code when posting or creating a 
   page…
 * I guess I need to clarify it adds unwanted <div> and arranges the code… it won’t
   keep in the way it’s posted.
 * Can anybody provide an interpretation of the different features… obviously they
   were put in the plug in for some reason…

 * ok a while back i was told to use the text control.. dont.. remove the plugin
   and just go under admin and under users and at the bottom uncheck the little 
   box for the HTML EDITOR i forget what its called again now..
 * as this is what causes the stripping to happen
 * then use a blog editor like blogjet or what i use post2blog..
