Thanks to Daring Fireball, line breaks (br) and paragraphs (p) in user comments are now automatically marked up (XHTML). Not only does this apply to new comments, it also respects the hard returns in all previous comments on the weblog (which just about everybody that has ever left a comment has used). A truly wonderfull feature is that line breaks and paragraphs that are marked up by the author (I think Anne and I are the only ones that've been doing that) of a comment, are also respected — which addresses the problem I had with Movable Type's Convert Line Breaks feature which caused nested paragraphs (which is a big No-No).

Thanks, John Gruber.

Note
Markup allowed. Linebreaks and paragraphs are automatically converted. Email and ip addresses are logged but never shared with third parties. Comments are not moderated on opinion or use of language, but on relevance. I hate spam with a passion.
