Thanks for the rapid reply. I've checked my filter settings again. My allowed 
tags in FilteredHTML are
<a> <em> <strong> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <table> 
<caption> <thead> <tr> <th> <td> <img> <blockquote> <span>

I do have it set to escape all tags at present. It seems all HTML is being 
escaped, regardless of filter.

Even the <a> tags are stripped in the above post, which is real bad. I've just 
noticed that my book posts are now no longer showing the normal book 
navigation mechanism. I wonder if these are linked issues?
