Break Tags in Product's Short Description [closed]

Question

Cant get the text in "Short Description" to align.

There is break tags being added to my product's short description on the front end product detail page that are not found in the short description when I review the product from the admin.

Any help is appreciated.

Open up this file: app/design/frontend/rwd/{THEME_NAME}/template/catalog/product/view.phtml

If it does not exist, copy it to your local theme from: app/design/frontend/rwd/default/template/catalog/product/view.phtml

You'll find in this file, these lines:

<?php if ($_product->getShortDescription()):?>
    <div class="short-description">
        <div class="std"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, nl2br($_product->getShortDescription()), 'short_description') ?></div>
    </div>
<?php endif;?>

Remove the "nl2br" PHP call that is in there prior to fetching the short description:

<?php if ($_product->getShortDescription()):?>
    <div class="short-description">
        <div class="std"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getShortDescription(), 'short_description') ?></div>
    </div>
<?php endif;?>

I guess you're referring to the list item. To learn more about styling list items please check W3Schools and css-tricks.com for more information.

You can use the element inspector in Chrome and Firefox to get a closer look at the HTML element and it's styling.

I did notive every list item has a break (<br/>) that causes the weird space between the bullet point and the text. You can remove that by using the wysiwyg editor or directly in the html in the backend
