 * Hers the deal:
 * I have created a admin page where i can create special posts with tiny MCE and
   they are written into their own database table.
 * The problem is that i have a good sense that i am doing it wrong.
 * WP escapes my post when it writes it into the database, but how can i unescape
   it and keeping the TinyMCE html tags when i read it?

 * Ok since nobody answered i assume that my question was misformulated,
 * What function adds the `<p>` on line breaks when a post is read from the database?
