Dataview inline fields always have line break after them

[MatthewPetty]

I want to display a property using an inline field. The field code is here:

they came to was `=this.planet`, which

The property value is the string “Neptune”. When in Preview and Reading mode it displays like this, with a line break after the field value “Neptune”. It does this for every inline field, and I can’t figure out why.

When I look at the HTML in Developer mode, it shows a “<br>” tag after the value. I don’t know where it’s getting that from.

Any ideas?

I tried your example, and I don’t have a problem. Maybe it is theme-related. Once, I had a similar problem (with <br>), and I solved it with a CSS snippet:

(something like that)

.dataview-inline-query br {
  display: none;
}

or

.dataview-inline-query {
  display: inline !important;
}

(one of these worked, not behind my computer to confirm)

Cheers, Marko

Please provide information on which versions you’re using for Obsidian, the installer version and Dataview. I’ve never seen this behaviour.

Hello.

@MatthewPetty

When I look at the HTML in Developer mode, it shows a “<br>” tag after the value. I don’t know where it’s getting that from.

Is the <br> in the property itself (been copied and pasted accidentally, perhaps)?

planet: Neptune<br>
Neptune: planet

Welcome to `=this.planet`, dude

Wheres Neptune is a `=this.Neptune`, earthling.

I just updated Dataview to 0.5.68. Obsidian is 1.8.9. I disabled a bunch of CSS snippets that were active.

The weird thing is I have another vault, with a different set of plugins active, and the problem doesn’t appear.

I just disabled all the plugins I have installed, then reenabled them one by one. I reenabled Dataview, and the problem has gone away! I don’t know if it was an issue with another plugin - I’ll watch it if and when I reenable the other plugins.

I checked that, and it wasn’t included in the property.

Found the culprit! It’s the plugin GitHub - shammond42/definition-list: Obsidian.md plugin to add HTML definition list support.

Not so bad to disable it, it was just a convenience really.
