Fair enough. I just hadn't noticed before.

Okay, thanks.

Eh? As mentioned, it is an artefact of the (:linebreaks:) markup.

A quick grep shows that the only occurrence of <br  /> in the farm is:

  ## (:linebreaks:)
  Markup('linebreaks', 'directives',
    '/\\(:(no)?linebreaks:\\)/ei',
    "PZZ(\$GLOBALS['HTMLPNewline'] = ('$1'!='no') ? '<br  />' : '')");
