# Lists inside a cell adding breaks?

* I’ve created an unordered list inside a cell. Very basic. Inside the cell I have
typed:
* ```
```
* (there are other list items but they all look like this.)
When I display the
page I notice a big gap between each list item. Viewing the page source I notice
there’s a `
` after each ``. I didn’t put it there and I can’t figure
out how to remove it. I don’t want it, it’s making my list look really ugly.
How can I get ride of the break? Thanks! (and sorry, the page is password protected,
I don’t have another place to put it.)

* I just tried adding line-height: 0; to the CSS in the plugin options page and
that seems to have worked. I’d still like to know why it’s adding a break for
me when I don’t want it, but at least I have a work around.

* Hi,
* thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
* The reason for this is indeed in the code that you pasted into the cells: It
contains line breaks, which are automatically transformed to HTML line break
tags when the table is shown. This is what adds the white space. (For regular
text, this is a good feature, as it allows you to use the “Enter” key in table
cells. For HTML code like this, it causes the problem you are experiencing).
* To change this, you’ll just have to remove all line breaks from the code, so
that the entire button code would stand in one line of text (if you drag the
table cell input field wide enough). Thus, only line breaks that happen automatically
due to the width of the textareas are allowed.
Does this make sense? So, in
your case, just write the code as
* ```
```

Tobias

* Ah, gotcha. I wrote the html outside the plugin then imported the table. so I
had it formatted so it looked nice. Maybe add a section in the FAQ about this–
I have no problem with it, nice to know what is going on and how to fix it. THANKS!!!

* Hi,
* yes, I should add this to the FAQ, indeed! Good suggestion 🙂 Thanks!
* Best wishes,

* Done! 🙂 I did say in my review one thing I would love is in the table editing
it would be nice to be able to set the font and font size instead of using CSS,
but that’s super easy to do. I’m setting this site up for non-programmers to
be able to administrate and maintain. Really like this plugin! Thanks again!

* Hi,
* thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
* Yes, I agree that styling should be easier, but so far I haven’t really found
a solution that is easy to implement, suits all (or at least most) needs, and
is flexible enough 🙁 So, for now I’ll stick to “Custom CSS”.
* Best wishes,
Tobias
