I've noticed this as long as I've been using Drupal. FCK Editor (in particular) will always screw up my line breaks and paragraphs.

I have tried saving a piece I have written using FCK Editor in Drupal 6 today, and after previewing it, the paragraph formatting is all gone. It is just one huge paragraph.

It makes no sense, and this has been happening for several versions with several types of editors.

I know I'm not the only one seeing it either. Can someone please inform me if there is some kind of hack to get the paragraphs working?

It becomes even more of a problem when you use the break command as well.

It is just a mess, and I'm hoping someone can check out the Drupal core or the editors to see why this happens.

Here is the proof:

Incase you are going to ask, YES, the source code within the editor had the paragraph marks correct. After posting the article, it stripped out all the paragraph marks after the break, leaving only the teaser, and the other clump of text.

Again, this has been happening on Drupal 5 and 6 with multiple editors. Can we just get it fixed already?

Please?

Thanks.

You have not properly configured your input filters. Read the documentation for the FCKEditor module.

If the page has "Filtered HTML" input format then Drupal is probably stripping out the p and br tags since these may not be in the list of allowed tags.

On the Edit page, try setting the Input format to "Full HTML", or add p and br tags to the list of allowed tags in the "Filtered HTML" input format.

Actually when I last looked, the TinyMCE documentation suggested creating a new Input format that did *not* have the line break converter or the HTML filter. Probably the same goes for FCKeditor too. This makes sure that Drupal does not interfere with the HTML markup generated by the editor.
