Double Line Breaks <br> in Text Area
 

I'm loading up my site with content and have been working on the Category Description text areas.

When I try to put in some HTML text, all line breaks are doubled, that is, regardless of whether I use a </p> or
at the end of the line, a new
is put in at the beginning of the next line. The effect is all lines are double-spaced.

Other HTML tags, such as [i] and table commands work just fine.

I've searched the forums and can't find anything addressing this issue. Any thoughts or advice?

Thanks!

OK, I've found some references in the forum in which files such as product_modify.php supposedly have a function that replaces "\n" with "
", so I looked through all the files pertaining to categories I could find to see if something similar was happening.

No joy, yet. I am not finding the function (not that I really know what I am looking for...just looking for
commands within the code).

I'd really like to see if X-Cart can sell my products any better than the SHTML/Paypal hacks I currently have, but I am beginning to have doubts because of things like this.

Anyone have ideas ... anyone?

visit http://smarty.php.net and search for regex or replace.

Youll see how its done there

Thanks, I'm off to see the wizard of Smarty!

Just got back from smarty.php.net and found a regex_replace in the subcategories.tpl file. Took out the
that was to be put in at each new line and it worked like a charm.

Thanks very much!

Plus, the Smarty site is fascinating. I can see I'm going to spend a lot of time there!
