Unable to post: text format is incorrect

I can't seem to post a message without receiveing the amazingly uninformative error "Text format is not correct." In fact, I had to edit this message several times before I found something bland enough to pass!

Re: Unable to post: text format is incorrect

Just for the record, after e-mail conversation with Sam it turnes out the site did not accept <p> on its own.

This is intentional. I wanted to make the site XHTML compilant and among other things it requires to close every paragraph with </p>

This of course make it less userfriendly so I might add some guessing mechanism and if people forget to close their paragraphs I will do that for them.

Any idea how to do that ?

Randal Schwartz wrote an article on filtering HTML tags for forum comments etc in the May 2003 issue of The Perl Journal. He used XML::LibXML which can be used to read HTML instead and also has a recovery mode that allows it to recover from unbalanced tags etc.
