Well, I have been making web pages for near on 10 years, and yes I know the differences between XHTML and HTML (and use extensive CSS), but I assume we’re all technical people here, and honestly, potato, potato (doesn’t really translate into type does it?). I’m not spamming my websites with stuff infused with either -moz-* or mso-* ?? I merely mean to say that I feel comfortable controlling my own markup.

But obviously I do want to use a CMS, since there’s alot of stuff I just don’t “need” in my life, some of that would include getting entity codes for the various danish characters I might use, and so forth. And I’m sorry if it came across as any “slam” on WP or one of it’s components, I just have alot of legacy content on my site (residing in raw php files, no pre-processing done), which is fully marked up, including lots line breaks for readability.

At the moment, I’m using the wpautop function, but it feels strange to write header tags, anchors, etc, but no paragraph tags. I think I’ll see how I like it. But in terms of my old content, changing it’s markup to fit WP would obviously be a bit of a hassle. Would be nice to have it be optional.

Or even better, have the “HTML” tab of the editor box MEAN pure markup, instead of, as it seems now “some markup”.

Anyway, I’m brand new to WP, so haven’t even looked at the plugin aspect at all. So I have some things to dig into. But thanks again for the clues to where I can tweak these things (and I’ll let you guys know what I end up with, if it can be of any help to others).

I’m not sure what you mean by embracing CSS and HTML. But thanks for the tip on remove_filter, it lead me to wpautop, which I’ve killed.

At least for now, I’m more comfortable inserting my own paragraph tags and defining my own HTML line breaks, should I want any.
