[Typo3] Preserving <p> tags in HTMLAREA RTE

[Jason Lefkowitz]

Hey everyone...

I've been hacking away on a simple extension for a project I'm working on, and so far it's been easier than I expected!  However, I have run into one stumbling block.  I have defined one field in my data table to be filled-in using the RTE -- i'm using HTMLAREA, not the stock RTE, if that matters -- and when users enter content into this field via the RTE, the <p> tags surrounding their paragraphs are being discarded.  Then, when the content is called up later for display, it looks like a big run-on paragraph.

I take it from reading all the docs on RTE Transformations that this is by design, so that the content in the database doesn't have a bunch of extraneous <p> tags.  Fair enough.  But what do I need to do to get the <p> tags added back when I retrieve the content for display later?  Or, failing that, is there a way to tell the RTE to save the <p> tags?  The docs indicate that you can use skipAlign and skipClass in TSConfig to do this, but I tried them and they don't seem to do the trick...

thanks in advance!
