Text formatting problems?

Im not sure if this is a problem with a checked or unchecked box somewhere.
But often when I copy and paste an article (text) into the form and publish it, it strips out the text formatting, like line breaks and paragraphs and such:

http://www.topekadiy.com/xoops/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=19

Instead it SHOULD have the proper indentations, line breaks, paragraphs with a line or two space between them etc.

What is the cause of this? And what can I do about it?
For some of these I was using wfsections article editor, but it has also happened with XOOPS built-in news modules etc.

Please help? Even if to point out something that should be obvious to me?

Cheers!

The editors included with XOOPS and wfSections strip any formating from text that is pated into the editor.

With Xoops, you have four options...

HTML [You can use basic html to edit your text]
PHP [You can insert php scripts in your post]
Auto-Format (with smileys) [formats the text as typed w/ ]
Auto-Format (no-smileys) [formats the text as typed w/o ]

I cannot recall off the top of my head what the wfSections options are, but I'm pretty sure it's similar.

Additionally, with wfSections, you have the ability to upload preformatted HTML pages that will be "wrapped" by wfSections.

Word to the wise on the aforementioned... Don't get to fancy with the pre-formatted html. Just use basic elements or it will display wrong.

Hope this helped.
