Post markup getting changed

[nealv]

I'm experiencing this problem with Wordpress (2.o and 2.1) where certain HTML tags are getting manipulated when I write a new post. Both with and without the new WYSIWYG editor. Entering in something like this for a post:

<code><pre>
h1 {
width:400px;
height:100px;
background:url("image.jpg") top left no-repeat;
text-index:-5000em;
overflow:hidden;
}
</pre></code>

Will produce this as output:

<p><code>
<pre>
h1 {
width:400px;
height:100px;
background:url("image.jpg") top left no-repeat;
text-index:-5000em;
overflow:hidden;
}
</pre>
<p></code></p>

Using the WYSIWYG editor, I even had instances of this:

<p><code/>
<pre>
h1 {
width:400px;
height:100px;
background:url("image.jpg") top left no-repeat;
text-index:-5000em;
overflow:hidden;
}
</pre>
<p></p>

Being that I use XHTML as an application of XML, this is absolutely killer. It even affects posts I made when I was using Wordpress 1.5 (which wouldn't do that) that I hadn't edited after upgrading.

This is plugin territory. If you need more control over the markup, see this plugin: ​http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/TextControl
