When I run the .rtf, it displays as follows:

I'd really like the text to not have any blank lines in it and am wondering if there's a syntax to remove them. I don't see any special characters in the XML, so wasn't sure how to remove the extra carriage returns that I can't see.

I just updated my original posting (the formatting showed up strange on it). This however is what I'd like it to look like. Basically just removing any double carriage returns.

The text in the XML is coming from the Media Object in JDE. We have the Media Object broken down in to bracketed sections and JDE pulls 1 of the bracketed sections to show up on the XML. So I don't have the ability to break apart and bring each line in as separate field.
My goal is to make neutral all the text that is typed in by our users. 1 of the things I'd like to do to make the text consistent is to remove all the extra blank lines.
I can do this by asking the users to update 1000's upon 1000's of text entries. OR, put some coding into the UBE to strip out double carriage returns. OR, write some kind of syntax in the .rtf to remove the blank lines.
I hope that I'm explaining this the right way. Thanks for your input.

are you concatenating all separate fields into single filed to get below information ,

seems like you are adding all into one at source level to get complete data as description, if yes ,then keep all as separate fields and directly import one down other in rtf template.Thanks

Hello,
Just checked your data file and it has the line breaks .. so a better way to handle this would be break the data elements into multiple each line as one data element .. this would give you more control on formatting ...
Hope this helps..

Please use <?xdofx:replace(Text_2_GV_ID2,chr(10),' ')?> in RTF, for replacing newline with space.
But, now it removes even other newlines. Please alter accordingly.
