I’ve got this bit of template:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="weblog1" limit="1" orderby="date" sort="desc" paginate="bottom" disable="member_data"}
<div class="IndexPostTitle">{title}</div>
<div class="IndexPostBody">{exp:limiter paragraphs="1" characters="500"} {1_body}{/exp:limiter}</div>
<div class="IndexPostLink"><a href="http://{comment_url_title_auto_path}">read on >></a></div>
{/exp:weblog:entries}

It results in:

<div class="IndexPostTitle">Octocon Q&A</div>
<div class="IndexPostBody">The <a href="http://www.octocon.com/">Octocon</a> Q&A has just wrapped, and we’ve posted <a href="http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/4555/">a transcription</a> from lady narcissa (from the <a href="http://asoiaf.westeros.org/">A Song of Ice and Fire forum</a>) to the <a href="http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/">So Spake Martin collection</a> of correspondence and convention reports.

I have no idea where the tag comes from. Is it the plugin? I looked through the code, though, and couldn’t see anything that referenced inserting a tag. I am completely baffled and apparently it breaks the site entirely on Safari.

If you don’t use the plugin, and let the content come in naturally, do you get the paragraph tag? Are you using XHTML for field formatting?

Oh, darn. Would the xhtml field formatting kick in before the plugin gets ahold of the excerpt? I guess that would be the answer then.

Any way to work around that? Can’t turn off formatting on the field since its the same used for the main blog display. I seem to recall there being a plugin for stripping html, but that stripped everything I think.

Anyway, thanks, I had my processing order all wrong, it seems like. 😊

Try BR, that might give you a different result.

Site formatting depends on the p tags for the main blog post, and its lots of legacy content, so changing now wouldn’t work too well. But I am browsing through the plugin list for other ways of removing just p tags. 😊

Sounds good to me. Anything else would be a HowTo CodeShare Corner question. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
