That unnecessary <p> tag...

Hello everybody,
I’ve searched here and there, but I couldn’t find a way to eliminate the <p></p> tag that Textpattern automatically applies to the bodies of articles.
I set my module this way: <div class="text"><txp:body /></div> but the output is <div class="text"><p>The body of my article</p></div>
The <p></p> tag creates an unnecessary spacing in my news!
Thank you.
Ghizza

Re: That unnecessary <p> tag...

Have you checked your default form? On the write page, have you got Textile on or off in advanced options?

Re: That unnecessary <p> tag...

Thanks a lot zero.
I disabled Textile and everything is fine.
I’m getting familiar with Textpattern and I’m reading something about Textile too.

Is there a way to manually “delete” this Textile behaviour?
I mean, perhaps editing some program files.
Textile is very powerful but these <p></p> tags interfere too much with the “box model” of my news.
Thanks again.
TXP is really extraordinary.

Eliminating the paragraph tabs in an article, and them interfering with your box model? …wow

Why not just use CSS to remove the padding/margin from the paragraph?

#parent_element { your ‘box-model’ stuff }

#parent element P { padding: 0; margin: 0; } /** or however you want it styled **/

Re: That unnecessary <p> tag...

You can delete all textile by going to Preferences and changing Use Textile. Then you’ll need to use all html when you write articles.

Re: That unnecessary <p> tag...

You can turn off Textile for excerpts only. Look under Advanced Options in the Write tab.

But as Eric points out, it is probably better to just use CSS rather than monkey with markup.
