NL2BR inconsistent output

[danst0]

Hi,

After coming back to NL2BR after a short detour I am struggling with its output.

This is an example of my blog entry (plain text):

Code: Select all

<h5>News</h5>
Two large companies have been hit by major "virtual" disruptions. On the other hand the Japanese earthquake still disrupts production at some car makers.<ul>
<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Network" title="Wikipedia: PlayStation Network">Sony Servers</a> have been attacked and over 70 million customer files (including credit card information) has been stolen (<a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2011/04/22/sony-struggles-with-outage-of-playstation-network/?mod=google_news_blog" title="blogs.wsj.com">Wall Street Journal</a>)</li>
<li>Amazon cloud offerings (EC2) has been hit by an outage with several customers including Foursquare affected (<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110421/wr_nm/us_amazon_cloud" title="Yahoo News: Amazon Cloud Services">Yahoo</a>)</li>

The screenshot shows the nl2br configuration.

And this is the resulting HTML code.

</ul><br />

So why are there all the br's? First they should not be there due to the exception in the plugin, second they should not be there because I clicked the "please use <p> instead"...?

Hi!

the tags you enter configure that INSIDE those tags no NL2BR occurs. Breaks *after* are not concerned. So adding "h5" there doesn't help you at all.

However, of course the "ul" should not have linebreaks, that is true. Do you maybe use other markup plugins that are interferring? Do you use the entryproperties-caching option? If so, you would need to clear your cache after changing options first...

You might want to check out this: http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17544 Timbalu added some options to the plugin there, also some <nonl2br>...</nonl2br>-alike tag that you might want to have.

I just republished one of the older articles and realized that afterwards the br's are gone...

So it seems that these tags are somewhere statically included, I already cleared the template_c directory before.
Is there a way to recreate all entries without having to do a "save as draft" -> "save as published" for each individual entry? Drop some database?

Hi!

Did you check the entryproperties-plugin caching I mentioned? If its installed, you should have a "cache all entries" link in your backend side navigation.

yeah, you were right! it was the caching in the extended entry properties.
