To clarify this complaint: It looks like the post was made by copy-and-paste from some word processor, and has picked up some unusual formatting that way. All that formatting should be removed, to make the article match the default formatting of the site.
Thanks for clarifying the complaint. Is there a recommended way to fix the formatting? I copied and pasted it from my blog. I didn’t realize that there was a specific format to follow.
Maybe try pasting the text in to a text area that doesn’t support formatting (say a LW comment box) and then copy-paste that back in to the article composition area?

I usually copy-paste things to notepad and then from there.
ctrl-shift-v is sometimes ‘paste without formatting’, depending on the application, the OS and the phase of the moon. Worth a shot, anyway.
