    Do any HTML tags work? maybe they strip out such things as a security feature. I'm sure something like this can be configured?

    I haven't used word press enough though to know off top my head.

    its a normal tinymce editor i think,
    all html works but <br> is stripped out,
    i might dig deep and try remove this.

    very annoying

    This is a feature. Wordpress cleans the HTML in posts.

    See http://codex.wordpress.org/How_WordPress_Processes_Post_Content for an explanation.

    There are a few workarounds here: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/category/space-between-paragraphs/

    There should be a plugin that will help you.

    I find if you code <br />   it picks up the line break

    With TINY pressing ENTER usually inserts a <p>. If you press SHIFT+ENTER it should insert a <br>.

    Standard TINY sucks tbh.

    Yep, Scotty has the right idea...if you are having trouble do 1 or more of the following
    1. I would turn off the editor by going to your user profile.
    2. Or just switch to the html editor and then enter your <p></p> this should give you a break. Not Great code and a bit of a work around but it should do the trick if you are not too concerned.
    3. Also, if you are not using the default editor but have added a plugin editor - unless you def need it...I personally would uninstall it and use the default editor.
