* Hi rmdhn,
* You are correct that those br tags should not be there. There must be a conflict
as our plugin does not output those.
* I think you would need to ask your theme authors how to prevent the block content
from being run through [wpautop](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wpautop/)(
I suspect that is what is adding the br tags)
* Regards,
Tom

* I’ve installed the remove wpautop plugin and it didn’t make a difference, and
also, what about the little gaps between the items?

* Hi rmdhn,
* I suspect the gaps will also be due to the extra br tags that are being added.
Please ask your theme authors how to prevent the block content from being run
through [wpautop](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wpautop/)(
the br tags are not added by our plugin)

seem to remove br
