 * Hi. In the text view the `<p>` (and `</p>`) tags are not displayed.
 * If I insert a `<p>&nbsp;</p>` on the last line and then switch back and forth
   between text and visual, first the `<p></p>` disappears (leaving just the `&nbsp;`)
   and then the `&nbsp;` disappears also.
 * Is there a way of displaying them by default please so they don’t disappear?

 * Isn’t this the default behavior of WordPress Text Editor (TinyMCE). That means
   nothing to do with this plug-in if I am right? 🙂
 * ..WordPress automatically wraps the text to <p> tag when displayed on the page.
   That’s why it is removed.
 * ..I think if you add some attribute e.g. class <p class=”nothing”></p> then it
   might remain?

 * is there an editor / plugin that does not mess with html code – regardless of
   what I type and whether I switch to a visual mode and back?

 * I don’t know any reason to use visual editor. Because everything on the site 
   is displayed via css and themes.
 * PS You can completly disable visual editor using this code in your theme finctions.
   php or your own simple plugin:
 * `add_filter ( 'user_can_richedit' , create_function ( '$a' , 'return false;' ),
   50 );`
