  Is there a way for my page to tell WP not to auto-substitute code when I save it? My spacing between paragraphs, and my spacing between stacked images, gets randomly zapped when WP changes the [p] and [br] markups. It’s unpredictable, makes my final result look different from my edit view, and it’s frustrating.

  I have to keep editing my spaces through several saves until it “magically” gets it right. And if I dare to switch between Visual and HTML view, it changes the markup then too.

  i do not know if you can shut this off.
  but i dont use <‘br> . you can just hit [enter] in the HTML editor with no code needed.
  a line break in the visual editor is [shift]+[enter]
  as far as a couple lines of space…<p> </p> for a line of space.
  for larger spacing check out this thread.

  That thread addresses this issue. I didn’t know what name was already given to the problem, thank you.
