How to embed snippet of HTML into a Wordpress page *without* plugins?

Searching this topic comes up with custom plugin solutions but I'd prefer to learn what's involved in doing this 'manually'. The problem:

I have a snippet of HTML which includes a form (an Amazon Payments Donation button) which I'd like to insert into one of my Wordpress pages. When I do it in the Text editor, it quasi works but the resulting code gets seriously modified by Wordpress.

For instance, a <br></br> gets added after each hidden input element, and some extraneous <p></p> elements get slotted in as well, making the resulting div huge, full of white space (that's impossible to correct via CSS alone).

What would be a non-plugin fix, or is it even possible?

You can try cleaning the p and br tags from the content

simply add this to your functions.php file

function clean_shortcodes($content){   
    $array = array (
        '<p>[' => '[', 
        ']</p>' => ']', 
        ']<br />' => ']'
    );
    $content = strtr($content, $array);
    return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'clean_shortcodes');

Hope it helps :)
