Remove linebreak after permalinks?
How do I remove the extra blank line that appears after all permalinks?
For instance… If I have an excerpt displaying beneath a permalink- I always have an extra blank line beneath the permalink, like this:
Subject that is permalink
Here is the contents of the excerpt. Here is the contents of the excerpt. Here is the contents of the excerpt. Here is the contents of the excerpt.
But what I want is this.. with no empty line between the subject/permalink and the excerpt paragraph:
Subject that is permalink
Here is the contents of the excerpt. Here is the contents of the excerpt. Here is the contents of the excerpt. Here is the contents of the excerpt.
The part of the form code that outputs it looks like this:
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:permlink><strong><txp:title /></strong></txp:permlink>
<txp:excerpt />
</txp:if_article_list>
Please let me know.

What are your CSS rules for p? I’m betting you’ve got vertical margins set on p and/or strong elements.

Re: Remove linebreak after permalinks?
The first thing I’d try is to set a margin-top: 0; or padding-top: 0; for p.

Re: Remove linebreak after permalinks?
Maybe do a global reset at the beginning of your CSS file? Sometimes weird spacing issues are the product of browser defaults.

Undeniably true, yet Eric Meyer isn’t exactly a CSS newbie ;) There must be some browser-compatibility reason for it.
Here’s the original.

Yeah :P I know he ain’t ^^ Thatfor Santa is there too :P Compatibility could be the reason, if we include those really old browsers, ie. IE5 and below (and some of those little unknow ones), but those won’t even handle divs nor XHTML, so… :)
