SID-01990: Can I wrap plain (normal) text in <p> elements?

I am using the PublishWebPlugin to convert TWiki content to XML. The fact that normal text is not wrapped in <p> elements makes the conversion difficult.

Is there an easy way to customize the HTML rendering so that all text that has the normal style is wrapped in a <p> element along with any inline element such as code and emphasis?

Thanks!

Discussion and Answer

I am not sure I understand your question. The published pages are based on the publish skin. The publish skin with CSS define the look. Text in p-tabs wraps by default, and can be turned off with a white-space: nowrap; style. Maybe I miss something.

Sorry, using the word "wrap" made my question ambiguous. I meant that I would like normal text to be written inside a <p> element like this:

<p>Example of normal text.</p>

I'll take a look at the publish skin.

Thanks!

Ah, now I understand. This p-tags are controlled by the TWiki rendering engine, not the skin. As for now it simply generates <p /> tags, e.g. open/close. With a {OpenClosePTags} configure setting you can change that to <p></p>. However, this does not enclose normal text in p-tags, it simply adds the open & close tags between paragraphs. The TWiki rendering engine would need to be enhanced so that the p-tags enclose paragraph text. You can hire a TWiki consultant to do that enhancement for you.
