can you prevent Email 2.0 editor template to stop adding <p> tags?

I am trying out a few of the starter templates in the new email 2.0 editor.

I noticed that anytime I make edits to and mkto text area <p> tags get added around the text that are not originally in the templates.

Which will distort the spacing.

Even when I just open the rich text editor, make no changes, and click save.

Is anyone else seeing this? and how can I make this stop happening?

Thanks

This sounds like default behavior to me.  Marketo has to wrap your content in some kind of element tag.  Whether it be a <p> or <div> or <span>, it has to be something.  I would recommend that you declare your own tags in the HTML if the <p> tags do not do justice to your formatting.

You can also try changing your settings in Admin>Email to "None" for the "Edit Text Editor Settings" to see if that helps.

This is the default behavior of Marketo's text editor. It has nothing to do with Email 2.0. It can be changed, as Jim said, in Admin > Email > Edit Text Editor Settings.

Some customer's templates prefer to have a <p>, some prefer nothing, and others prefer <div>. We leave it up to you.

Thanks,
