In the site admin area, go to the Options menu, then Writing – it’s the 3rd option down – just uncheck the things you want unchecked 🙂
That’s only a small part of it, RustIndy. It doesn’t turn off the wpautop function (automatic paragraphing).
You can try commenting out the lines
add_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
...
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'wpautop');
in the beginning of wp-includes/template-functions-post.php
Although commenting out those lines will work, when you upgrade later, they’ll just be there again. A nice approach would be to create a simple little plugin using
remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’);
remove_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpautop’);
That way you can easily turn them on and off by activating/deactivating the plugin.

Interesting, I only have two options–one for converting emoticons to graphics, and one for correcting invalidly nested XHTML. I’m using 1.2.2. Was this a plugin?
Bertha…. try pasting this code into a file, say call it disable-wpautop.php and upload it to your plugins folder, then activate it through the plugin section of the admin.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Disable WPAUTOP
Version: 1.0
Plugin URI:
Description: Disables the wpautop function for the_content and the_excerpt.
Author: Nick Momrik
Author URI: http://mtdewvirus.com/
*/
remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
remove_filter('the_excerpt', 'wpautop');
?>'
Make sure not to have any blank lines/spaces before <?php or after ?>`
That’s a good idea MtDewVirus. I may actually use that myself!
