Problem with Long Text Viewer visual

So, I have some text in paragraphs that I import from our project server. basically is the description of each project and the history of the project.

 

I use the long text viewer custom visual to show that text. My problem is that since my data is in paragraphs there is the paragraph symbol <p> </p> on my data. The visual doesn't recognise that symbol and all I get is my text in a single paragraph. The paragraph symbols also appear in the visual at the places where it should create a new paragraph. 

I'm not sure if this has to do with how the visual is developed but either way I mailed the developer and I didn't get an answer.

Is there a way to fix that? Or maybe subsitute for that visual? Or another way to make my text appear in the assigned pargraphs?

@mork I have not used this Visual but...

 

Do you see the <p> and </p> in the Query Editor as well?

 

If you do it would very easy to get rid of them there.

I see the symbols there too and I know it's easy to get rid of them. But I don't that. If I remove them the text will all appear in a single line. I want it to appear in paragraphs...

Not so much a problem as a feature request :). Check out the new BETA version of Long Text Viewer. There's a Newline starts with feature in the formatting pane that you can use to change

 

into a line separator. https://wallingsoft.wordpress.com/2017/01/15/long-text-viewer-january-17-update-beta/
