Invalid Content Markup

[miqrogroove]

I have a page post that starts like this:

<p style="text-align: right;">Text Here</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"></p>
More Text Here

The HTML source saves correctly, but the page output omits the closing tag for the second P element, causing the rest of the page to be invalid.

If you have any trouble reproducing this I will be happy to debug it on my server.

The workaround I am currently using:

<p style="text-align: right;">Text Here</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">.</p>
More Text Here

Putting any text in the second paragraph somehow fixes the problem.

Confirmed.

Why do you need an empty <p> tag anyway?

Unsurprisingly perhaps, when I activated PHP Markdown (which automatically disables wpautop and does its own autoparagraphing) the problem disappeared.

This ticket is about invalid output. If there's a problem in the html editor you should make a separate ticket for that.
