Description
During theming I tried to call the the_content() function in my index.php in this way:
<?php the_content('<br /><br />Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
Wordpress then produces output like this:
<a href="somelink" class="more-link"></p> <p>Read the rest of this entry »</a></p>
Which clearly is not valid xhtml.
When calling the_content only with one <br />:
<?php the_content('<br />Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
All is ok.

I think the problem is that autop is applied after the more text is added on.
- Owner changed from anonymous to pishmishy
- Status changed from new to assigned
huesforalice, I think that the best solution here would be for you to use the 'the_content' filter to remove the <p>.
The default filters for the_content such as autop could be moved so that they don't effect the more text, but that'll break things for people who wanted to use them to effect the more text.
