Why the classic editor creating some empty line between my sentences if I switch between source and visual mode, its kind confuse me?

let me give you a quick example: I write some link tags in the source mode and leaving no space between ech, like this



and if I switch to visual mode and go back in source mode there are empty lines

between each link tag like this



(2) If I write some lines of normal text in the classic visual editor and try to position my lines with ENTER (Line breaks) the empty lines get removed.

(3) If I write a line of text in the classic source editor, Press enter and place a br HTML tag under the line and the br tag line gets ignored.

I make a little test (HERE) and write this in the classic visual editor (in the classic source editor it looks the same):



(I add line numbers with a photo manipulator so that you can see each line better)

I looked in the REAL source code of the whole page and found this:

WTF is this? Why the open and close tags a inverted. why is my text outside the tags!? why is the br HTML tag is looking like a close tag? Why is there a second empty p class? Sorry but I learned the basics of HTML 4.01 and its kinda different and I can't imagine that that it has changed fundamental in the last years. (Look at my little sandbox experimental web page I write it by hand with Notepad++ http://home.tele2.de/KILLERs-Web/caeon.org/)

This is how I learned HTML!



(of curse you don't need so set each object in a separate line but I do this because I am a human being and want to be able to read my code later) (but placing empty lines in the classic source editor fuck's up everything ) (code-view is powered by Notepad++ :)

For me this text editor behaviour is very strange and confusing. And I am not really sure how I should do the simplest kind of formatting if the background code look like garbage o.O and i DONT want to dive deep in HTML and CSS for such simple stuff.

EDIT: even here if i write in this little editor my text gets kinda fucked up after i press post.

(Linebrakes get removed or ignore, what is going on here?)
