Strip <P> from beginning of database content
My WYSIWYG editor place <P> ass the first thing in the database. This becomes a problem when trying to display the content due to it adding a double space in my page.
Example:
Title:
By:
Date:
Content:
This would be great if it was exactly what i was trying to do, but i don't want the gap to be there between date and content due to the paragraph tag... is there a way to just show the natural text without showing the html for the <p> tag?

Hi Again,
Inthat case - [considering what yog has written]
what u could do is use the listfirst & listlast functions
use listfirst to get the first <p> tag & replace it with ""
& then use the listlast to get the last </p> & replace that with "".
i think this should solve - right YOG !!!

i am not sure, coz if the user enters twice in the editor, it wil put up 2 <p> </p> <p> </p> tags, i guess there should be a way to do this in the editor itself rather than code, can you post this in soeditor forum..
Hi there
NO I DONT THINK SO !
cos form what Jeff has written - he wants the first <p> tag to be scraped off - as this is added while inserting in the DB.
so whatever the editor does - is for the what & how the user wants it to be - the only problem is the automatic addition of <p> tag in the beginning - whihc displays a extra space.
So i think this should work - cos if u think the editor is the problem - then the user can do N number of things & u can never keep a track of it.
I hope this is how it is ...
let me know !!!

This would work. What I did find though was that the SiteObjects SoEditor does have an option for Single Spacing instead of Double.. So actually I made some changes on my site but this did work.
