 * Hello all,
 * I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask such a question but…
 * I’m creating a plugin and I’m utilizing the TinyMCE editor. I have it working
   but when I post the data to the database it doesn’t _**carry over the \n or line
   breaks?**_
 * This is how I incorporate the editor in my plugin. I use the $name as a means
   to pass the data to the database… not sure if that’s the correct way to send 
   the data to the database? Any help would be great.
 *     ```
       <?php the_editor($pageInfo->html, $name = 'editor'); ?>
       ```

 * The solution is to format the posted text using the wpautop() function. This 
   will “clean” the code and add the necessary <p> tags where there are line breaks.
 * You can ready more about this here:

 * Example:
 *     ```
       $content = wpautop( $_POST['editorContent'], $br = 1 );
       ```
