Hi,
Thanks for using my plugin. The spans you’re seeing are not being generated by my plugin. If you don’t see those span tags in the text view of the individual FAQ page then there’s another plugin or something else adding those tags. This is what the HTML looks like on my demo site:

All that aside, if you want to override my CSS and can’t because of !important tags the best way to do so is to copy the arconix-faq.css from the includes/css directory to the root directory of your theme and then you can edit that file to your heart’s content. My plugin will load your file in place of the plugin’s.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks John. The problem was that the text I dumped into the content editor was something I copied from an email, and it must have contained some strange embedded characters that the plugin didn’t like. When I ran the text through Notepad the <p>s showed up and I was able to style it.
Thanks for responding.
Steve
