Checking Movable Type's Approach

12 September 2003

I questioned how Movable Type might be placing tags into entries when I use the text entry box as my primary editor for weblog entries.

Last night I viewed the source for the entry in question and I learned that Movable Type is properly placing paragraph tags around the paragraphs when I type here. In other words, I’m not putting any tags into this entry when I’m simply writing.

Some people, apparently, format every entry they post in some other editing tool and simply copy and paste the text and markup into Movable Type’s text entry box. Perhaps, that’s the surest method of getting a weblog that validates.
