Disable auto-adding of <p> tag - html

Question

I'm trying to remove auto-adding of <p> tag in CQ5(Version 5.6.0.20130125). I've tried to add these properties to the text component I'm using but with no effect.(source)
removeSingleParagraphContainer true
singeParagraphContainerReplacement (empty string)
I've also tried this solution. Again, no effect.
Is it possible to disable auto-adding of <p> tag?
Thanks for any ideas
EDIT I've tried this answer but CQ still adds <p> tags to my code. For example, I have this HTML code
<strong>Headquarters:</strong>
<p>MY - COMPANY a.s.<br>
Random Street 77<br>
Random City</p>
and after I submit it, the code changes to
<p><strong>Headquarters:</strong></p>
<p>MY - COMPANY a.s.<br>
Random Street 77<br>
Random City</p>
my RTE looks like this
<text jcr:primaryType="cq:widget"
hideLabel="{Boolean}true"
name="./text"
xtype="richtext">
<htmlRules jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
<docType jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
...
</docType>
<blockHandling
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
removeSingleParagraphContainer="{Boolean}true"/>
</htmlRules>
</text>
EDIT2 this is what my hierarchy looks like

Answer 1

You can keep the RTE from surrounding your text with <p> tags by setting the removeSingleParagraphContainer property to true as long as you only create one paragraph.
With Chrome on Mac OS X (at least), holding shift while pressing enter inserts line breaks instead of paragraph breaks so you can still create text with multiple lines. Since you said in your last question that you're using the misctools plugin, you can use the source edit view to peek at the markup as you go.
Finally, to set the removeSingleParagraphContainer property, you'll need to create another child called blockHandling under your htmlRules node in your dialog. You don't need to mess with singeParagraphContainerReplacement property, but if you did, you would set it on the same node:
<rtePlugins jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
...
</rtePlugins>
<htmlRules jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
<docType jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
...
</docType>
<blockHandling
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
removeSingleParagraphContainer="{Boolean}true"/>
</htmlRules>
Edit regarding your edit: using the source edit feature of the misctools plugin and pasting this exact text saves and loads without p tags for me in Chrome on Mac OS X:
<strong>Headquarters:</strong><br>
MY - COMPANY a.s.<br>
Random Street 77<br>
Random City
Are you sure your dialog.xml deployed properly? Maybe double-check that your component's dialog hierarchy looks how you'd expect it to in CRXDE Lite:

Answer 2

The property removeSingleParagraphContainer should be added in node with xtype is richtext.
Example:
<text jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"
hideLabel="{Boolean}true"
name="./text"
height="{Long}520"
removeSingleParagraphContainer="{Boolean}true"
xtype="richtext">
CRXDE Lite: configuration in crxde lite
Note: And this configuration is only used for single paragraph.
Refer: more info about removeSingleParagraphContainer

Try using #context='html' in your code. This lets you set the context of the text as html so even if there are tags in your dialog value, they will be rendered as equivalent html and not as tag on the page.
eg :
{properties.something #context='html'}

For Touch UI, you can also create a custom paraformat option in the AEM Touch UI, cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/richtext, and then using Java Backend, Sling Model, to text-transform the output, so that your Sightly HTL can render the output Html as expected. For the full tutorial, you can find it here.

Answer 5

Try using #context='unsafe' in your code. You should be able to get rid of the unnecessary HTML tags, worked for me
