 * I would like to be able to disable the automatic paragraphing, and line breaking,
   etc that WordPress does for you. I like entering in the post exactly as I want
   it shown. As well, I can’t seem to include HTML comments of the style <!– This
   is an HTML comment –>.
    Any ideas on how to go about doing this?

 * Did none of the solutions you read about when you searched for ‘disable html’
   actually work ?

 * Podz, these days it seems that assuming the users have searched is a big leap.
   It’s often unlikely.
 * Download the plugin which disables Auto Paragraphing, also known as autop and
   go to your options>writing and disable the auto correcting option for content.
 * You WOULD have found these had you guys done a search, as for the plugin to disable
   autop, well I aint doing all the work for yer, do a search 🙂

 * Hi!
    Well i did a search.. But it didn’t helped me out. Currently i deactivated
   all automatic xhtml stuff, but even now, it destroys my code.. Currently, it 
   deletes all line breaks, instead of just leaving them.. Also, it seems to be 
   unpossible, to create a p – tag with class=”underh” (self made..) it just deletes
   the p- tags or renames the class.. Horrible..
 * Well, i’m looking, wheater it’s wordpress or the WYSIWYG editor i use.. HTMLarea,
   i guess..

 * P.S.: Sry for my bad english..

 * no i do not mean that…
    When i enter some tags like form input and so on… It 
   just deletes or overwrites that tags..
