This is an effect of using the simple_format method: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/TextHelper.html#method-i-simple_format
"Returns text transformed into HTML <http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/HTML.html> using simple formatting rules. Two or more consecutive newlines(\n\n) are considered as a paragraph and wrapped in <p> tags. One newline (\n) is considered as a linebreak and a <br /> tag is appended. This method does not remove the newlines from the text. You can pass any HTML <http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/HTML.html> attributes into html_options. These will be added to all created paragraphs." If you just want to print out the bare text, you can just put that in your erb tag: <%= my_variable %> On Mon, Jul 7, 2014 at 10:31 AM, Ronald Fischer <[email protected]> wrote: > I have in my erb file something like this: > > <%= simple_format(...) %> > > The generated code is wrapped within <p></p>.
