# Petition format issue when edit enabled

 * I have the pro version, purchase so that I could get users to edit part of the
   petition.
 * When user views the petition it shows in html markup with “<p><strong> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   </strong></p> etc. Is this expected? For your average user not recognising markup
   they would wonder what is happening. How to overcome this one? Method is set 
   to html in settings
 * What happens though when the user closes the view window and submits the petition,
   all formatting is lost, paragraphs, line feeds, breaks the lot. It is just essentially
   a string of letters. Obviously not the thing you send to a decision maker in 
   high places.
 * I suspect that I have done something wrong, but can repeat the problem. Seems
   the only way to get the formatting back is to edit the petition in WordPress,
   select all and left justify. It then seems to get sent out OK, but is smashed
   if you try to edit again.
 * Please help!!! Thanks
