wpautop breaks object tags

[bwooster47]

Hoping this is similar to this already fixed issue:
​http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2833

br tags are being inserted in <object...> </object> tags, and <embed /> tags (which is normally inside the object tag).

Use the Text Control plugin 2.0b2 with my ​little fix documented here

You can then turn off wptexturize for individual posts which will fix the formatting for embed and objects (and script and other tags like that).

Yeah, I had to hack around this to fix this for a plugin I made.

​http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-hackers/2006-August/thread.html

Ended up changing my function's priority to 11 (after wpautop) and moving wptexturize after my plugin (since it'd screw up my BBcode).

This is a bug of sorts in wpautop() in the file /wp-includes/functions-formatting.php

I patched to to work for Google Video embedded Flash player tags.

The simple fix is as follows:

In function wpautop($pee, $br = 1) {

Add "object|" to three of the regular expressions.

The expressions are the first two that begin:

$pee = preg_replace('!(<(?:table|thead|tfoot|

which, after inserting "object|" before "table" become:

$pee = preg_replace('!(<(?:object|table|thead|tfoot|

Next, find the line that begins:

if ($br) $pee = preg_replace(

And on the following line:

$pee = preg_replace('!(</?(?:table|thead|

insert "object|" before "table" so it becomes:

$pee = preg_replace('!(</?(?:object|table|thead|

You can apply the same principle to some other tags that are mangled by the auto-formatting.

This seems to work fine in trunk.
