Re: [pmwiki] Re: problems with returns and paragraphs

There's a chance.  I started to render paragraphs as <p>text</p> instead of
using <p /> but ran into a few complications so I went with what "worked"
to get the 0.5.0 release finished and figured I could revisit it
later if needed.

So, I'll have to take a look at it and see what I can do.
