Stupid line height tags

These tags keep appearing in my emails: “<span style="line-height: 1.6em;">

I do not want them. It makes the line spacing in my emails all wonky. How do I make them stop?

They’ll also appear in your product descriptions as well.

They’re apparently a default of the WYSIWYG editor. If I recall correctly, there’s nothing to be done other than edit your emails/product descriptions in the Source.

One way: You can edit source code and type stuff between a <p> and </p> tag, and then it won’t be there.

Well sure. They seem to creep in any time I add bold or italics, pretty much any text formatting. I could just type in html but that’s not really optimal…

The whole WYSIWYG sucks and needs an upgrading. My favorite feature is it will resize the actual file dimensions of an image if you attempt to resize by pixel in code. Instead, you get to create divs and tables to bound percentage-driven image files.

As mentioned already, this is something that the WYSIWYG does by default which isn’t great, but knowing what triggers it may help you avoid it in the future.

If you then hit the Backspace/Delete key to put two lines of content in on one line, the editor injects span tags for who knows what reason. This can happen if you paste in content and then start merging lines together, or enter content, hit Enter/Return, and then use the Delete/Backspace key to put the content back on one line
