Title: HTML codex trouble Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # HTML codex trouble * [kikecam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kikecam/) * (@kikecam) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-codex-trouble/) * Hi… Here and there I get this line added to my posts: * * Usually after using Enter+Shift, other times WordPress adds it after a text justify… * And it changes the size font of the paragraph, obviously. * I’ve tried to paste raw text, but there’s no use… It still adds the span attributes without me asking to do it… := Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-codex-trouble/#post-3397803) * Are you pasting from Word (or someplace else) or switching between the Visual and Text editor? Either one will cause problems. * Thread Starter [kikecam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kikecam/) * (@kikecam) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-codex-trouble/#post-3397813) * yeah, I thought that was the case, but I used the ‘paste as raw text’ tool before‘ pasting’ a texto from word… On the other hand, I’ve noticed WordPress adds that line ANY TIME i use Enter+Shift (to keep two paragrapghs together, if you know what I mean… For instance, if you’re editing and interview and want no separation between a question and the answer. * Thanks for helping WPyogi! * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-codex-trouble/#post-3397816) * I don’t use Enter+Shift, so can’t say about that. I’d just recommend never pasting from Word (use a plain text editor if you need to draft elsewhere or some people like Windows Live Writer) and not switching between visual/text. See if that solves the issue? * Thread Starter [kikecam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kikecam/) * (@kikecam) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-codex-trouble/#post-3398017) * Mmmm… I’ve noticed WordPress adds the span thing anytime I use ‘delete’. For instante, if I move a paragraph right to the end of the previous paragraph, WP adds the span… or if I just type a word, I go to the begining of it, press enter and then delete to move it back… I get the span. * This would be the ‘sequence’: * “hola” * ”  * hola” * “hola” * Weird, huh? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-codex-trouble/#post-3398018) * Is this in the visual or text editor? And are you typing this in or copying it from someplace else? * What version of WP and do you have any plugins active? * I’m just trying to reproduce this problem. * Thread Starter [kikecam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kikecam/) * (@kikecam) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-codex-trouble/#post-3398071) * First of all, thanks for trying to help me!! * We’re using WordPress 3.4.2 * Those things appear on the HTML editor. And as I told you, it doesn’t matter whether I’m typing or copying from Word or from an email… Whenever I do a backspace and get to the previous paragraph I get the span label/tag/wthaever it’s called. * We have some plugins installed, but only one of them is active: Spotify Plugin. And a Network Publisher. * [perkinz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/perkinz/) * (@perkinz) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-codex-trouble/#post-3398127) * Got the same problem here on my WP site. Have to clean up manually. Any solutions found? * BTW, if you google you’ll find this is very common code. * How do we banish it? * Perkinz * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-codex-trouble/#post-3398128) * Perkinz, * You can ask this [on your own thread](http://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform). * [perkinz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/perkinz/) * (@perkinz) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-codex-trouble/#post-3398129) * Hi Andrew, * Why start a new thread for the exact same problem?
