extra tags showing up in generated HTML

I have a question. I have a temaplate that is generating extra spaces in html. The folling is the item from my datacapture.cfg:
<item name="Posting Description">
<description>Enter a description of the item wanted</description>
<textarea cols='50' rows='15' wrap='virtual' line-break="BR" external-editor="visualformat" external-editor-config="classifieds.xml" />
</item>

According to the Templating Developers Guide (pg. 59), you can use a line-break to control the hard returns (to have them changed from to . This is all good, but it also says it is not valid for the Visual Format editor. Does anyone know how to keep the template from inserting tags when generating html?

ie: in the text area you would enter
This is line one
This is line two

But when you generate HTML, it looks lik:

This is line one

This is line two

Couple of options:

1) Use Shift-Enter instead of Enter, that will insert a BR instead of a P
2) Change the VisualFormat config file. See this kb article on the Ektron website.
