 * How do I keep WP from automatically adding <br /> tags to my pages? After I edit
   a “page” I get a bunch of these stupid tags in my <script> blocks.
 * I also get stray <p> tags sometimes. WP should not alter what I put in!

 * Wow! That plugin is a life-saver! Thanks for the suggestion.
 * Now, if WP insists on doing silly stuff like this, shouldn’t it at least have
   a built-in option to not muck up my markup??
