Here’s my code: `<div class=”physicians”>
<div class=”phybox” id=”post-9226″><span><a href=”https://providers.keckmedicine.org/provider/Vaughn+A.+Starnes/205280″><img src=”https://www.keckmedicine.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Starnes.jpg”>view profile</a></span><span><div class=”title_FAD”><a href=”https://providers.keckmedicine.org/provider/Vaughn+A.+Starnes/205280″><h1>Vaughn A.

Starnes, MD”>Appointment Request</a></span></div>
<div class=”clearfix”></div>
<h2>Practicing Locations</h2>
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles<br>
Keck Hospital of USC<br>

Here’s what WP keeps displaying `<div class=”physicians”>
<div class=”phybox” id=”post-9226″><span><a href=”https://providers.keckmedicine.org/provider/Vaughn+A.+Starnes/205280″><img src=”https://www.keckmedicine.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Starnes.jpg”>view profile</a></span><span><p></p>

It’s adding extra <p> and <br> tags which completely screws up my layout. Is there anyway I can force these extras to be ignored?
