the enter key, the paragraph is removed on saving the asset. Is
there a way around this. We are on version 6.7.5 if it helps. I
know we could use the shift+enter option to create a break but that
isn't a good solution because a style applied to the paragraph
would then affect the space occupied by the breaks as well.</p></div>PCtag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/55414032012-03-15T15:08:40Z2012-03-15T15:09:31ZEmpty p tags removed on save<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>According to <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html">W3
standards</a>:<br>
"We discourage authors from using empty P elements. User agents
should ignore empty P elements."</p>
<p>This seems to be a product of TidyHTML. If I turn off Tidy, I am
able to save an empty p tag as long as that is not the only thing
in the WYSIWYG and it will insert a space into my empty p tag.</p>
<p>If this is still a development issue, I would recommend using a
text/xml block. Otherwise, I would recommend not using an empty p
tag based on different rendering behaviors on various internet
browsers.</p>
<p>I hope this helps!</p></div>Penny
