Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.The line break filter in Drupal needs to be aware of all the block level html elements for it's current implementation to work. The function starts out by defining these:
function _filter_autop($text) {
// All block level tags
$block = '(?:table|thead|tfoot|caption|colgroup|tbody|tr|td|th|div|dl|dd|dt|ul|ol|li|pre|select|form|blockquote|address|p|h[1-6]|hr)';
You'll notice the html5 block level elements (e.g., section) are not included in this list. That means the link break filter (to inject p and br tags) will fail around these. We either need to add them to this list or develop an implementation that doesn't require these.

jacineNice catch @mfer! I knew there was another filter-related issue somewhere. ;) I added this to the roadmap. I think we should just keep it simple and add the new block-level elements to this line, because that's what pretty much what we ended up doing for filter_xss_admin().
Tagging this as a Novice patch as the following elements just need to be added to that line:
