Thanks, that did the trick.

I am not taling about valid xhtml template. Making a valide template is the easy part. To keep everything valid I need to turn off the auto tag generation when writing a entry for the blog. The and
will break validation when you add block level stuff , while writing a entry.

This thread is totaly confusing. I need the ability to turn off the automatic tags in the editor so I can replace them with my own. I would be wasting my time designing a new template with xhtml strict unless this was possible.
since the post from MtDewVirus has the sql [edit snip] I can’t fix the problem.
Is there a way of turning off the auto tags so I can use my own tags in admin interface?
