 Hello,

 I noticed a minor bug regarding the default Wordpress Post & Page content
 field.

 When getting the value of the default Wordpress content WYSIWYG field
 using the following snippet:

 {{{#!php
 <?php

 if(have_posts()) {
     while(have_posts()) {
         the_post();

         the_content();
     }
 }

 }}}

 The correct HTML formatting is output as expected.

 If instead I use the following:

 {{{#!php
 <?php

 if(have_posts()) {
     while(have_posts()) {
         the_post();

        echo get_the_content();
     }
 }

 }}}

 HTML tags persist in the resulting value, however, paragraph tags are
 seemingly omitted from the value return from the call to
 `get_the_content`.

 Thanks!
