Remove automatic BR tags

[haptalaon]

UPDATE: better way of doing this in the comments!

Hello all!

I do pretty things to my paragraphs, so I hand-code up my HTML in the editor rather than using rich text, putting P tags round my paragraphs. However, DW will still automatically add BR tags between them - making the gaps between my paragraphs HUGE and unsightly

The fix for this sets the height of BR as nothing - making the reading experience far more sightly. Put it in your Customise CSS section.

.entry-content br {
   display: block;
   margin: 0 0;
}

There is actually an easier way to do this! You can set the post creator to not add autoformatting - on the beta create page, it's the 'Raw HTML' format option, and on the old create page, it's the 'Disable Auto-Formatting' checkbox.

Momiji knows that of which she speaks - the semiofficial DW Dev Styles Guru here.

oh my gosh thank you XD i feel like a doofus but that is so so useful. In truth, I think I have been enjoying the technical challenge - of trying to make the code do what I want but without having full control over it? Good and crunchy for my brain. But this is a total gamechanger XD
