Creating standard "blog" but p tags are stripped out of description.

Permalink
Hi all

I am trying to setup and standard 'blog' without using an add-on as my task isn't very complex. I just need to display 2 'news' articles on the home page (which is working fine) then be able to click through to a details page for the full length article (which is kind of working).

When I click through, my description is not rendering any p tags. So it's just being printed as 1 big section of text.

Is there a way or a function so that the description text is formatted?

Here is my current code on my blog_entry.php page.

<div class="pageSection">
   <h1><?php   echo $c->getCollectionName(); ?></h1>
   <p><?php   echo t('Posted by')?> <?php   echo $c->getVersionObject()->getVersionAuthorUserName(); ?> on <?php   echo $c->getCollectionDatePublic('F j, Y'); ?></p>
   <p><?php echo $c->getCollectionDescription(); ?></p>
</div>


Also, getVersionAuthorUserName() is not printing anything to the page. But that is no big deal. Maybe I am using the wrong code?

Thanks much!
