 * Hi:
    I have this problem on a WP test site and it also occurred in the demo for
   this plugin. We’re transitioning from a non-WP proprietary site to a WP site 
   and we have 1000’s of articles that have to be imported. The import/conversion
   by the developers did not go too well, so I’ve been fixing it.
 * Some of the articles had “paragraphs” made with div tags, and the space between
   paragraphs was <div> </div> (the editor for the site did this automatically if
   creating within the site). The article imports to WP OK, but on saving it in 
   the editor WP helpfully removes the   but leaves the now empty div wrapper. So
   there is no space between the paragraphs.
 * The plugin, with all the checkboxes chosen does not prevent this from happening,
   but wrapping the tags within [raw] does work. But I thought it would work just
   with the boxes checked. What’s going on? What filter in WP is doing this and 
   WHY????
    Thanks Alex

 * The checkboxes only apply to filters that WordPress runs when the post is displayed
   in the front-end. They don’t affect the editor at all.
 * I’m not sure which filters affect the editor content. Try turning off this option
   in Settings -> Writing: “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”.
