 The code replaces “<br /><br />” in an entry with “</p>”-newline-“<p>”.  I
 use “<br /><br />” because HTML has semantics as well as syntax; not all
 vertical spacing represents distinction amongst paragraphs.  The
 replacements break my mark-up more generally, resulting in defective
 presentation.

 The software should never behave in such an entitled manner without
 permission from the user.
