Thank you. I just figured out how to turn this behavior off, and actually it was listed in the instructions for Code Markup, so I should’ve just read more carefully 🙂
“(Optional but recommended) Go to the Options page and click Writing. Make sure “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automaticallyâ€? is not checked. (Otherwise it may do funny things to your code listings.)”
That “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically� option controls whether it does the auto-balance-tags thing.
I guess this means my XHTML is more likely to be bad, but I can always use the validator button. I wonder if there’s a way to auto-validate each post (but NOT from the edit window, or else it would complain about my XML all over again)… only AFTER it’s been posted and beautified)
Thanks for your help.
