How to remove <p> tags on excerpt
Hi! My index page is no longer validating (xhtml 1.0 strict) because of the <p> tag that my form adds around my image which is the excerpt.
The form I am using is
<txp:if_first_article><ul id="portfolio"></txp:if_first_article>
<li><a href="<txp:permlink />"><txp:excerpt /></a></li>
<txp:if_last_article></ul></txp:if_last_article>which is outputting the following html
<ul id="portfolio">
<li><a href="http://www.helpshack.com/test/portfolio/roman-loranc"> <p><img src="http://www.helpshack.com/test/images/roman_thumb.gif" alt="Roman Loranc" /></p></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.helpshack.com/test/portfolio/coastal-fresh-farms"> <p><img src="http://www.helpshack.com/test/images/coastal_thumb.gif" alt="Coastal Fresh Farms" /></p></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.helpshack.com/test/portfolio/waterbird-gallery"> <p><img src="http://www.helpshack.com/test/images/waterbird_thumb.gif" alt="Waterbird Gallery" /></p></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.helpshack.com/test/portfolio/helpshack-10"> <p><img src="http://www.helpshack.com/test/images/helpshackv1_thumb.gif" alt="helpshAck v1.0" /></p></a></li>
</ul>Why is the <p> added and is there a way to remove it so my html will validate? Thanks for your help in advance.

Re: How to remove <p> tags on excerpt
is there a reason you are not using article_image ?
I think that it will be more appropriate considering what you are trying to achieve.
>Edit to answer your question though… If you don’t want the p tag all you need to do is start the line with a space:)

Re: How to remove <p> tags on excerpt
Hi colak. I am already using article_image for the larger photos so needed Excerpt for the thumbnails. I added the space before my image in Excerpt and the <p> tags were removed. Thanks for your advice!

Re: How to remove <p> tags on excerpt
Hi christina helen
It just seems that it is a waste of the excerpt which is also syndicated. A custom field might be better fo you
Something like
<ul id="portfolio">
<txp:if_custom_field name="img"><li><txp:permlink><img src="<txp:custom_field name="img">"/></txp:permlink></li></txp:if_custom_field>
</ul>might be more appropriate as it will only add a li only if the field is filled.
My suggestion would be to use the txp tag <txp:image id="#" /> in the custom filed as it will/should update the urls when/if you move your install.

Not sure why it is added but to get rid of it you can add a space to the beginning of the excerpt.
Edit: I should read the rest of the posts first!

Re: How to remove <p> tags on excerpt
Try to replace <txp:excerpt /> in your page/form with this code:
<txp:php>echo parse(str_replace(array("<p>", "</p>") , "" , $GLOBALS['thisarticle']['excerpt']));</txp:php>Providing help in hacking ATM! Come to courses and don’t forget to bring us notebook and hammer! What for notebook? What a kind of hacker you are without notebok?

Put a space before your img code in the excerpt field…
[put a space here]!/test/images/roman_thumb.gif!

Re: How to remove <p> tags on excerpt
It is because Textile is run on the excerpt. Turn Textile off for excerpts on your article (look under the Advanced Options) and you don’t have to escape it (using a space or notextile).
