I have done extended research and found the answer – I am now using a hook on ‘tiny_mce_before_init’. Based on other answers (special thanks to answer #2 @Chip Bennett), I have used the following code in my functions.php to secure the paragraph breaks (in the editor HTML mode they show as   but become paragraphs … Read more
I stuck with the same question and actually tested wpautop(). It worked, e.g. echo wpautop(get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘_aboutus’, true)); Still, I came around one issue. When sanitizing the user input, don’t use a sanitization method that removed the line breaks before using wpautop 🙂
There is no filter that would allow you to set allowable tags not to be removed by the_excerpt(). Arguably a shortcoming of the core. Anyhow, the actual excerpt generation does not happen in that template tag but entirely elsewhere: Excerpts are generated by the function wp_trim_excerpt(), inside of which the excerpt filters you are already … Read more
Alright so I’ve already updated this question a ton and it’s starting to get overloaded, so I figured I’d write this as an answer even though it isn’t a full one. Extrapolating from @bueltge’s answer, I actually went back and found his previous post in question. In that post, there was a plugin listed that … Read more
I recently got this working. You should search and replace metaname with your meta box name. The key to maintaining formatting was using wpautop(); when saving the data. add_action( ‘add_meta_boxes’, ‘add_metaname_box’); add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘metaname_save’); function add_metaname_box() { add_meta_box( ‘metaname_id’, __( ‘metaname text’, ‘metaname_textdomain’), ‘metaname_custom_box’, ‘page’ ); } function metaname_custom_box() { global $post; wp_nonce_field( plugin_basename( __FILE__ … Read more

You have your slash backwards, it should be “\n”
You can read the whole file and split lines using str.splitlines: Or you can strip the newline by hand: Note: this last solution only works if the file ends with a newline, otherwise the last line will lose a character. This assumption is true in most cases (especially for files created by text editors, which often do add an … Read more
It’s really just about which bytes are stored in a file. CR is a bytecode for carriage return (from the days of typewriters) and LF similarly, for line feed. It just refers to the bytes that are placed as end-of-line markers. Way more information, as always, on wikipedia.
You can use the print statement to do this without importing sys. The comma on the end of the print line prevents print from issuing a new line (you should note that there will be an extra space at the end of the output). The Python 3 SolutionSince the above does not work in Python 3, you can do this instead (again, … Read more
