txp:excerpt rendering

I bet if we had a WTF!? forum category it would become more popular than How? or Troubleshooting in short order.

Anyway, here’s my WTF for the day since there’s no good other place for it…

I have this in an article form:

<txp:if_excerpt>
    <p class="excerpt"><txp:excerpt /></p>
</txp:if_excerpt>

This placeholder text in the excerpt field:

About the site.

And it’s rendering like this in the front-end:

<p class="excerpt"></p>
<p>About the site.</p>
<p></p>

So basically two empty p tag pairs, one with the class assignment, and the actual excerpt applied between them in a third paragraph instance.

WTF?! ;)

That is Textile doing!

Either turn of Textile for that excerpt field to change your markup slightly:

<txp:if_excerpt>
    <div class="excerpt"><txp:excerpt /></div>
</txp:if_excerpt>

Edit:

Or, since you are using TXP 4.7dev, use the newly minted escape attribute

<txp:if_excerpt>
    <p class="excerpt"><txp:excerpt escape="p" /></p>
</txp:if_excerpt>
