I've noticed that the latest version of TinyMCE on Wordpress manages text in a very 'clean' way.

Pasting from MS-Word it strips out all html text blocks, like <p>'s, and shows the text cleared of any odd formatting preserving only links, bolds and underlines.

On top of that the source code format is very clear. No <br />'s everywhere. You only see \n's and the expected <strong><u><i> tags.

I've been messing up with TinyMCE configuration files for some time with little success. I did manage to get all formatting removed. I can't, however, put TinyMCE to display the \n's as <br />'s lie Wordpress does it.

Tried preformatted : true with no success whatsoever.

Has anyone here been able to do it?

Thank you in advance, Francisco
