    Yes, I'm using SMF as a CMS.

    I've tried the idea you suggested already and it did indeed cause layout issues as sometimes there wasn't a double break due to the element being the last thing in the article.

    I've thought about preg_replace but this issue also happens in my forum and I don't want to start adding that stuff to SMF. This is why I'm hoping there might be some CSS solution out there for me.

    Well, there are adjacent sibling selectors, but those don't work in IE6 worth ***. If you can live with it not working in IE6, you could go...

    span + br + br { display:none; }

    I think that might do the trick... Frankly, with IE6's numbers dwindling, giving them a still usable layout with an extra gap may be acceptable. (we're going to have to start telling them to **** off sooner or later, giving them a 'degraded but usable' page might be a nice gentle nudge)

    Scary part is, while IE6 on windows doesn't support adjacent selectors, IE 5.2 Mac does.

    Fantastic, thanks :)

    It's so annoying that so many people still use IE6.
