Okay. Upon further exploration I found a trick that works for me.
Under Users, Your Profile untick the “Use the visual editor when writing box”
My < p > and < br > and & nbsp ; codes stay put.
I’m fighting with this as well. Here’s the workaround I came up with:
<p><font color=”white”>space</font></p>
Font color is whatever your background is and you can type in any gibberish. doesn’t work though.
This works fine in text but not in my form.
doesn’t seem to work either. It’s very annoying.
