There seems to be an issue with paragraphs in link lists. If users enter a single line without hitting the return key links are displayed as

<link> - <description>

If they hit the return key, however, a paragraph is inserted by the editor and links appear as

<link> -

<description>

So far, I have not found out how to remove paragraph tags again since the default post editor does not include an html view button. Of course, I could modify the appearance of the editor. But I believe there should be an easier way to fix this. Has anyone ever dealt with this problem?

Paragraphs have a newline before and after, because they are block elements. Use display:inline in your css to make them inline elements and thus remove the breaks. Something like this:

div.linklist p { display: inline; }

And add the div (with class="linklist") in the template right before and after the post loop. You don't want all your Ps to be inline :-)

 

Thanks, Rogier. That seems to be a good workaround. My link lists are being displayed correctly now. I submitted an RFE requesting an update of the link list template.

I have also tried to target only the first-paragraph by p:first-child. However, that did not work as expected. Maybe, someone knows if this is feasable with CSS?

Glad to be of help. :first-child does not work in IE6 and below. Neither does any other method for doing what you want. I would use this though:

.linklist a+p {display:inline;}

Works like a charm! Thanks again, Rogier! This should be definitely part of your new templates.
