When using bullets in the short description of a product, the WYSIWYG editor stores the list correctly in the database (without added <br/>, but when the description is placed in the product view page a <br/> is added to the end of each list item.
I checked the magento forum and many people have experienced this problem. The solution posed there is to remove the nl2br code from the view.phtml file.
I have done this and it works, but my concern is will that cause other problems? Why is the nl2br code there to begin with?
So I replace this code:
Code:
<div class="short-description"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, nl2br($_product->getShortDescription()), 'short_description') ?></div>
with
Code:
<div class="short-description"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getShortDescription()); ?></div>
in the …/template/catalog/product/view.phtml file.
