 * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extraneous-html-break-tags/#post-2039599)
 * I discovered the same problem. Breaks were being inserted into a list of links.
   The breaks defeated the styling of the links (float left with interspersed breaks
   is a vertical column, in my case).
 * I went into the database table wp_posts and manually removed the line breaks.
   The very next display reinserted them.
 * I found that wpautop($content,$br) with $br=0 is supposed to halt the insertion
   of breaks, but I cannot find a way to set the site globally to do this. I am 
   hesitant to make hard-wired changes to the core of wordpress.
 * Pointers to where I can set the global for wpautop would be appreciated.
