 * I’m trying to figure out why every time I hit the enter key while in the visual
   editor it will on the back-end close and reopen the parent tag of almost whatever
   code its wrapped in.
 * e.g.
 *     ```
       <div class="one-half">
       <strong>section title</strong>
       All the happy text goes here.
       </div>
       ```
   
 * when I go to add another line of text it will close my div and reopen it again
   leaving me with…
 *     ```
       <div class="one-half">
       <strong>section title</strong>
       All the happy text goes here.</div>
       <div class="one-half"></div>
       <div class="one-half">
       More text added
       </div>
       ```
   
 * I’ve been looking for an acceptable solution for days. It doesn’t really seem
   like anyone has resolved the issue with the Visual Editor mucking things up some
   way or another.
    Anyone have a solution to this?
