If you were always writing in HTML, you could add the following to your `functions.php` file: remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' ); remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' ); I do this for some of my own sites. As it sounds like you want the option to turn this on or off, you may want to try the [wpautop control](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpautop-control/) plugin. This should let you turn it off on your posts, while leaving it on for other users.
