 During theming I tried to call the the_content() function in my index.php
 in this way:

 {{{
 <?php the_content('<br /><br />Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
 }}}

 Wordpress then produces output like this:

 {{{
 <a href="somelink" class="more-link"></p>
 <p>Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</a></p>
 }}}

 Which clearly is not valid xhtml.


 When calling the_content only with one <br />:

 {{{
 <?php the_content('<br />Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
 }}}

 All is ok.
