2833,wpautop breaks style and script tags,Nazgul,anonymous,"When I create a post in which I want to include Javascript or some styles, WordPress 'breaks'when showing those posts, because all newlines in the SCRIPT and STYLE tag are converted into BR tags.

Example:
{{{
<style type=""text/css>
.matt { color: #FFFFFF; }
</style>
}}}
Becomes:
{{{
<style type=""text/css><br />
.matt { color: #FFFFFF; }<br />
</style><br />
}}}

And:
{{{
<script type=""text/javascript""><!--
google_ad_client = ""xxxxxxxx"";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = ""120x60_as_rimg"";
google_cpa_choice = ""CAAQ2eOZzgEaCD4zuVkdzt_CKI-293M"";
//--></script>
}}}
Becomes
{{{
<script type=""text/javascript""><!--<br />
google_ad_client = ""xxxxxxxx"";<br />
google_ad_width = 120;<br />
google_ad_height = 60;<br />
google_ad_format = ""120x60_as_rimg"";<br />
google_cpa_choice = ""CAAQ2eOZzgEaCD4zuVkdzt_CKI-293M"";<br />
//--></script><br />
}}}

This happens because wpautop adds those BR tags to the post. (As it should, just not within STYLE or SCRIPT tags.)

I've made a (temporary?) workaround for this by creating a pre and post event for wpautop, which substitute the necessary newlines by a temporary value in the pre event and placing them back in the post event. Although I think this should be incorporated in wpautop itself.

While searching trac I also found ticket #2346, which is about the same problem, but which was for 2.0 and self-closed by the submitter?
