[Pro] Remove Paragraph tags from a line/div

Freeway
1

Is there an action to remove paragraph tags from a line or div? I seem to has lost the one I had ~ Can’t find anything in the Actions forge

WebYep’s “Rich Text” + CKEditor content adds its own extra

tags

around its content , then Freeway add’s its own p tags around that causing validation issues

CKEditor content

Anyone know a fix/alternative?

The Remove Paragraph Action is at http://freewayactions.com in the
Beta Box, and you can also use my CrowBar Action as a replacement for
the Markup Item you are using to insert your JavaScript code. That
Action removes any surrounding P (or other text container tag) and
relies on the inserted code to provide a suitable replacement.

Thanks

It’s a bit of php (or I use the WebYep action) either way as it is Freeway annoyingly adds it own p tags to surround it.

<?php webyep_richText("Fieldname", false, "", true); ?>

Kind Regards

Walter,

It does not work too well, as Freeway default styles are kicking in and creating 1px text Creating more issues to fix.

Interestingly, I found a possible work around

Using

     config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;

in CKEditor config.js file

This gets rid of the surrounding

tags in CKEditor ~ the downside it creates
tags for line returns (like the plain text editor does in WebYep). Is this the answer to all my problems with using a rich text editor/WebYep/Freeway?

A further very important question would be…

Would this be a problem in a CMS if there are no

tags in blocks of text and only
separating paragraphs?

Any comment or wisdon would be greatfully received

If there isn’t a P tag inside a container like a DIV or a TD, the
browser will infer one, and actually behave as if there is one there.
The page is still valid, with or without a P, because the spec doesn’t
require that text be enclosed in a P exclusively, only that it be
enclosed.

html - Turn off enclosing <p> tags in CKEditor 3.0 - Stack Overflow

To fix this specifically, try this: Draw your text box, insert the
CrowBar, then add an option-space after it. CrowBar will figure out
that it isn’t alone on the line, and it will move itself outside the
P. It will leave the P there, so Freeway won’t check back and add that
font-size tag to the DIV. Hate that, especially. I know that (and why)
it’s there, but it still gets me every time.

Freeway is still creating surrouding

tags…

my first paragraph follow by two br's

another run of text ending with Freeway closing p

It does not matter that the CMS is using two br’s per paragraph rather than p tags?

Insert the crowbar? Inline? I thought you attached Crowbar to a div

(I’m not close to a machine to test this - roaming on iOS)

Yes that seems to work and validate. It does not need the option-space after it either (which creates an extra line anyway and space under the content)
