seems to be a work around for a line feed. I can only assume that the coders for wordpress have noticed the outcry from people who really would like a linefeed and the coders have what they believe is sane, rational reason for stripping them out. If anyone is aware of a link to their rational I’d really like to read it because I’ve attempted to think from their point of view and I’m having a hard time understanding the case where striping out clear intent from the user is a good idea.

I’m using WP 2.9 and find this behavior absolutely maddening. It’s 2010 – I thought we had line feeds figured out but apparently I’m mistaken. I’m using all the br and p tags I’d care to after I’ve embedded a video between div tags (used to center it) and I can’t get a line feed between my videos and the text below (even when using just the HTML tab) it which looks horrible. Why does wordpress think it knows better than I how I’d like my pages to look? If anyone knows a workaround for this glaring misfeature please do share with the rest of us.
