# Auto Formating

 * (Tried searching for answer to no avail)
 * There are times when I don’t want a paragraph tag around a html tag ( e.g. img,
   code, blockquote ). I don’t ‘Use the visual editor when writing’ because I don’t
   trust it. But surely I know what _I_ want when the post is shown, so why does
   WordPress butt in and mess around with my html? Shocked there aren’t some controls
   for this in the admin section.
 * **How do you control the paragraph and line break formatting when presenting 
   posts?**

 * Good question, while inserting automatic line and paragraph breaks and not showing
   them in the edit box is nice most of the time, there should be a way to view 
   and edit the full code for cases when you want to post just code on a line, want
   to enclose the paragraph tag in something else or want to insert line breaks 
   just so you’ll be able to edit easier, but want everything to show up on a single
   line on page (for example when posting multiple links or small images).

 * Resolve by deleting `add_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');` from /wp-includes/
   default-filters.php (around line 108 in 2.5.1).

 * Will that affect future formatting in visual mode? Or just in html mode?

 * It appears to simply not add paragraph tags when it runs _the loop_ in templates.
