Read more… Issue

Hello! I have a little issue with my Read More code. I want to split the Read More button from the content, but I don’t seem to get it to work. I’ve tried some things that were in the documentation of WP, but I couldn’t figure it out.

This is my code:

<div class="content">
<?php the_content( __( 'Read more &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&rarr;', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>
</div>

And this is what it becomes when it’s running:

<div class="content">
<p>
Here you have some text
<a class="more-link" href="link">Read more -></a>
</p>
</div>

So my problem is that the ‘a’ is IN the ‘p’ and I want it outside of it so I can place it properly. Anyone knows how I should handle this?

I’m sorry, I can’t provide you with a link, I’m doing this with xampp, I can however make screenshots of the code/firebug/whatever you need ??

Thanks for helping in advance.
