Improve Line Breaks Filter

The text editor often replaces the line breaks with empty paragraphs <p>nbsp;<p>. Paragraphs with a margin can weaken the look of your website. This module provides a text filter that replaces empty paragraphs, for example <p></p> or <p>&nbsp;</p> with <br /> tags.

Remove empty paragraphs

This module also allows you to remove empty paragraphs if you want to delete them completely. This is not recommended because sometimes the editor needs to add an extra space between the text.
