line breaks

Does WP insert br tags automatically when upgrading from b2? I don’t remember them ever being in the actual raw text of each post before. I discovered that going back and deleting the br tags manually, and just leaving regular line breaks fixes this problem.

Okay, nevermind. ?? I went back and looked at my SQL backup from b2, and it did insert br tags into each post’s raw text. Looks like I’ll have to run it through a filter and delete all of them and update my database so I don’t have to go through and delete all of them by hand. Not a big deal, but something you may want to look at for the final release (or explain to me if I did something wrong). ??

Email me some of the text it messed up as an attached .txt file, m at this domain. I can tweak the autop function to fix this.

Just dropping a note that this is a problem for me as well ??

Working on it right now.

Okay I just commited a new version that solves the problem for all future markup, fixes the problem with bad b2 markup, and is faster. You can check out the new b2functions.php from the CVS if you’re in a hurry, or wait for Point Seven.

Has the bug changed all the old entries? And if so, is it possible to un-change them ??

Nope, WordPress no longer does line break processing when inserting into the database, only on display. I feel this is a much more robust and forward-compatible way to do things, for example by just changing one function and using the same (non-line-broken) source data you could implement XHTML 2 compatible <l>ines.

So how do I get rid of the extra line breaks currently in my old entries, caused by WordPress?

i doubt you will be able to get wordpress to remove them, so you’ll have to edit them once the script is fixed. but then again if that doesnt work you could use phpmyadmin…

Actually if you search an replace the break tags, it is very important that you replace them with newlines (\n in PHP) if you want to preserve your formatting.

True. However, new lines were already in my raw text, so that wasn’t an issue for me. ??

Is there a way to turn off this new linebreak thingie? It’s wreaking all kinds of havoc on my old entries, and going through all 250 of them seems like a bit over the top…
Either that, or an automated fix that takes care of it (preferable :)).

I have another problem with the line brakes. When I add some in my post for layout reasons they do get included in the admin screens post source, but there′s no brake in sight in the source of the actual post on my index page.
Please compare:
Admin:
I have 3… One is lent, and really broken. It gave up after I used it for some 3 months. I guess it was already on the verge of braking down when I got it. It spend some months in my hedge before I moved it to my shed today. And guess what, the hedge had fallen in love with it:

B2 0.61 did use to include the manual line brakes if i′m not mistaken!?
Strange thing is that it has the same code as the last in the admin screen′s preview, but does display properly there!? My page validate′s properly, so don′t see any problem there…
Anyone any idea on how to get this right, the post now just looks crappy…

grmbl, forgot the code tags… again
