 * alright. i have been looking into this for about a week so far and still couldnt
   come up with a solution. so maybe someone could help me out here:
    when using
   2 line breaks (=> if i hit the “Enter” key twice), the HTML SOURCE CODE seems
   to get somewhat messed up: <b>case 1: </b>(normal behavior) entered text (there
   is ONE line break at the end of “text paragraph1”):
 * > text paragraph1 text paragraph1 text paragraph1.
   >  text paragraph2 text paragraph2
   > text paragraph2
 * wordpress html source:
 * > text paragraph1 text paragraph1 text paragraph1.
   >  text paragraph2 text paragraph2
   > text paragraph2
 * <b>case 2:</b> (the problem is here)
    entered text (there are TWO line breaks
   at the end of “text paragraph1”):
 * > text paragraph1 text paragraph1 text paragraph1
   >  text paragraph2 text paragraph2
   > text paragraph2
 * wordpress html source:
 * > text paragraph1 text paragraph1 text paragraph1. text paragraph2 text paragraph2
   > text paragraph2
 * so – as you see – the line break tags are completely stripped from the source
   code if there are 2 line breaks – with only oe: no problem.
    so i wondered, what
   function parses the strings and returns this data and maybe how to fix this behavior.
   is this normal? a feature? bug? thanks a lot in advance. sid demo: [http://www.emolife.net/journal](http://www.emolife.net/journal)

 * strange because that isn’t the same experience I get. If I hit enter once at 
   the end of the line, I get a br tag, as expected, but with two enter presses,
   I get p tags as expected… one to close the previous para, and one to start the
   new one….
    Things to check for, what plugins do you have? Maybe there’s one that
   is stripping them out for some reason? TG
