WYSIWYG Editor uses DIVs for new paragraphs?

[Pangdene]

Hi,

If I edit a snippet and hit enter to create a newline, the resultant code created is using DIVs for each newline - shouldn't it be using <p> tags or <br /> tags?

If the snippet you are editing contains an opening <div> and not a closing</div> then it will insert new divs for spacing. The answer is to ensure that the snippet tags either surround fully a div containing the editable area or are within that div.

thank you!

Interesting, as the snippet tags are surrounded by a closed div, but within the snippet tags there are no divs or p tags, just text.

I shall try this out by putting a closed div immediately inside the snippet tags and around the text to be edited.

Double check that you don't have an unclosed div on your page. That one caught me out once.

thanks - yep, that's easy to do 

However, in this case the file is just a div with snippet tags inside and text inside that (trying an 'include file' approach)

EDIT: this works just fine now!
