5250,wpautop() issue with lists,Narc0tiq,anonymous,"First of all, my sincere apologies if this is a duplicate.


The problem, in short: WordPress inserted a number of unclosed `<p>` tags into my post. It should either insert correctly closed tags, or none at all. I honestly would prefer the former.


In detail: I had HTML code very similar to this:

<ul>
  <li>text<ul>
    <li>subtext</li>
  </ul>more text</li>
</ul>


This was automatically converted to:

<ul>
  <li>text<ul>
    <li>subtext</li>
  </ul><p>more text</li>
</ul>

Note the extra `<p>` tag in the above, which is unclosed (making the W3C validator choke on my website).

Also note, I was not using the WYSIWYG editor (turning it off was the first thing I did), so it's unlikely to be due to that.


As a workaround, manually inserting properly closed `<p>` tags works just fine:

<ul>
  <li>text<ul>
    <li>subtext</li>
  </ul><p>more text</p></li>
</ul>

Since this workaround exists, the bug is not very prioritary, but it should also (hopefully) be easy to fix.",defect (bug),new,normal,Future Release,Formatting,2.3,normal,,xhtml autop needs-patch,Jani Uusitalo
