Auto formatting glitch in 2.1

  • I have upgraded my blog to WordPress 2.1. With one exception, the process was fairly painless. The exception was my politics test plugin. The new version of WordPress was inserting line breaks into the questions. I had to get my fingers dirty and find out what was happening. It turned out that the auto-formatting function [wpautop() in the file ~/wp-includes/formatting.php] had been rewritten so that input XHTML tags were now treated as blocks. The fix was easy: I deleted the input keyword from the list of blocks.

    I am buggered if I know why they did it. Can someone explain?

  • Out of curiosity, does the same thing happen if you use <em>?

    I have to say I am completely sick of WP’s autop stupidity. They’re throwing breaks everywhere! Please please please please please please please stop this! Please! I’m serious. This is totally stupid.
