eCommerce Hosting Tips: Fixing the Automatic Line Breaks in Magento

By default, Magento’s application editor (Tiny MCE) can insert an automatic line break when every you enter onto a new line – even if you'll be unable to view the or tags within the HTML.

This is caused by a PHP operate nl2br, that inserts an HTML line break before all newlines in a string. The nl2br function is used for the short description and the long description in Magento, you'll be able to resolve the automatic line breaks by removing the function like below:

<div><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, nl2br($_product->getShortDescription()), 'short_description') ?></div>

Change it to: 

<div><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getShortDescription(), 'short_description') ?></div>

Now, locate the description.phtml file (/app/design/frontend/[package]/[theme]/template/catalog/product/view/description.phtml) and search for:
<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/output')->productAttribute($this->getProduct(), nl2br($_description), 'description') ?>

Then, change to:

<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/output')->productAttribute($this->getProduct(), $_description, 'description') ?>
