Hi,

I'm having this tiny problem, that i would like to have fixed though. I've made a section named news, of which I only want to post the titles of the news items at my front page. This all goes well, except for the way it turns out at my site.

What I would like to see is:
* item 1
* item 2
* item 3

The result I get is:
* item 1

* item 2

* item 3

Perhaps I'm an idiot for not figuring out myself, but how do I fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there!

Can you let me know what you've got in your HTML for that section? Check for extra <br> tags, <p> tags, etc.

My guess is that the extra space is actually margins or padding being applied by your browser as part of its default styles for <p> tags. Have you tried modifying the css to see if you can get it to go away?

A simple way to test if this is the case would be to change the <p> to the following:

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;">


*not that I am endorsing inline styles

Hi,

Thanks for the provided help, but I figured out what caused the problem myself. It was the WYSIWYG editor. I changed it to a textfield and that did give me the option to remove the <p> </p> tags.

Thanks again!

Hi Hans!

You've got it -- fields that you don't want to have additional HTML in, you definitely want to have that as a text field, rather than a WYSIWYG. Summary fields, title fields, etc... these are all much better as text fields. :)
