How do I avoid having WebMerge insert
tags?
The only times WebMerge will insert
tags in your data is when your data already contains carriage return characters. Since carriage returns are not displayed in browsers but they are displayed in FileMaker, WebMerge assumes that any returns in your data are there intentionally, to affect display, and will dutifully replace them all with a browser-displayable line break (the
tag). If you don’t want
tags in your data, the best place to clean up the data is not in the resulting HTML, but directly in the source, within your database file. Most databases contain a Replace function, which you could use to replace all return characters with spaces, which will be the appropriate solution in most cases.
