# WordPress adding HTML when published

 * I am trying to load a form onto one of my pages. I have the HTML code completely
   written out on a separate program. Once I publish it all of my text boxes and
   drop downs get moved to the next like. I looked at the Page Source and it shows
   the code < br / > which I know is a line break. I checked it in my program, it
   wasn’t there. I checked it in the text box where I can add the HTML and it wasn’t
   there. Somewhere in between the editting page and the publishing phase those 
   codes are added in.
 * I do not think it is a margin problem because it does this regardless of the 
   size of the box.
 * Here’s what it looks like
 * Name
    [TEXT BOX] Date [TEXT BOX] Mailing Address [TEXT BOX]
 * Here is what it is supposed to look like
 * Name [TEXT BOX] Date [TEXT BOX]
    Mailing Address [TEXT BOX]
 * Please help me :/

 * Use the plugin WP Unformatted and use the settings “sponge” “1” any time you 
   have anything besides simple text.
 * This is bug is long overdue to be fixed.

   for the first form field.
