<%Description%> and font size

My subcategory template looks like this:

Code:

 <dl> 
   <dt> 
    <strong><a class="cathead" href="<%URL%>"><%Short_Name%><%if Related%>@<%endif%></a></strong>  
    <small class="numlinks">(<%Number_of_Links%>)</small> 
 <%if Has_New_Links eq 'Yes'%> 
  <small><sup class="new">new</sup></small> 
 <%endif%> 
 <%if Has_Changed_Links eq 'Yes'%> 
  <small><sup class="new">updated</sup></small> 
 <%endif%> 
   </dt> 
 <%if Description%> 
  <dd> 
  <span class="descript"> 
  <%Description%> 
  </span> 
  </dd> 
  <%endif%> 
</dl>

However, when I view the source code of the pages when they have been generated I notice that the <%Description%> tag includes <font size=2> code which is causing validation problems:

http://validator.w3.org/...p;ss=1&verbose=1

How do I edit the <%Description%> tag to remove the offending code?

TIA

Looks like this is from YahooSubcats plugin - try clicking on 'Edit' next to the name of the plugin in the installed list - the font seems to be something that you can set for the plugin.

Laura,

Thanks for pointing that out - I have modified the YahooSubcats.pm file to remove the offending bit of code and reuploaded it to my plugins folder - oddly though, when I do a static build, the offending code is still there - is that because I am running under speedycgi and the cache has not been updated?

Many Thanks
Alex

I think you might have done more than you think in editing the plugin file - have a look at your site dynamically and you'll see what I mean.

I don't have any experience of using speedy cgi so I'm not sure why it hasn't updated your static pages.
