Sorry but if having p around your paragraph destroys your layout then  
it points more to a faulty layout.

theres a textilize\_without\_paragraph or something, which just removes  
the beginning and ending

's, but then your doc isnt xhtml complaint,  
since you end up with something like this:

blahsdblhasdblasdhas lkadj  
alskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjblahsdblhasdblasdhas lkadj  
alskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjblahsdblhasdblasdhas lkadj  
alskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjblahsdblhasdblasdhas lkadj  
alskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjblahsdblhasdblasdhas lkadj  
alskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjblahsdblhasdblasdhas lkadj  
alskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjalskdj

blahsdblhasdblasdhas lkadj alskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjblahsdblhasdblasdhas lkadj alskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjblahsdblhasdblasdhas lkadj alskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjblahsdblhasdblasdhas lkadj alskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjblahsdblhasdblasdhas lkadj alskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjblahsdblhasdblasdhas lkadj alskdjalskdjalskdjalskdjalskdj

its something im willing to live with, since i cant figure out how to  
make \<p’s really only take space on the bottom, eg,  
padding-top:0;padding-bottom:1em didnt seem to work right, at least in  
my browser…

Try  
padding: 1px 1px 5px 1px;  
or something like that. Think the order is top, left, bottom, right.  
Same thing can be done with margin.

I think you mean “top, right, bottom, left”, right?

But I’d agree with the “fix your layout if

tags are breaking it”  
suggestion.
