[pmwiki-devel] Unwanted styles being introduced in my template code

[Petko Yotov]

Check if your wikitext source doesn't start with the markup %black% or 
%color=black%:

   %black% ... PageText ...

If not, and if this happens on more than one line, some of your custom 
markups, recipes or skins may have modified the "paragraph" markup. 
Remove them one after another and every time check the wiki to see if at 
some point the <span> element disappears.
