I have a some CSS that I use for displaying 'code' that is preformatted on a Wordpress blog. I use the tags to mark the text in MarsEdit.

I write posts in MMD in the HTML window.

----------------------
This is some text


Test Line 1

Test Line 2


Closing Text
----------------------

When I convert from HTML to Rich Text and back to HTML (thus running the MMD parser although there is no MMD markup here ) I get this:

This is some text

Test Line 1

Test Line 2

Closing Text

I can see that that the parser is automatically adding the paragraph tags to line and that is a good thing. Is there a way I can suppress this within the code markup ?

Or have I missed a better solution ?
