Hi

Is there a way to stop Web Designer 17 and later versions, from exporting multi line text that is wrapped inside text box as individual lines wrapped in <span></span> tags?

For instance this:-
Click image for larger version.  Name: Lorum ipsum wrapped text.jpg  Views: 55  Size: 151.2 KB  ID: 131840

gets encoded as :

<div class="xr_txt Normal_text xr_s0" style="position: absolute; left:89px; top:125px; width:500px; height:10px;">
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s1" style="top: -41.6px;">Lorem Ipsum</span>
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 42.67px;">"Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, </span>
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 63.34px;">adipisci velit..."</span>
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 104.68px;">"There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply </span>
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 125.35px;">because it is pain..."</span>
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 166.69px;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras sed sem sit amet libero </span>
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 187.36px;">laoreet semper id vel erat. Sed sed euismod ex, at euismod sem. Nulla </span>

<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 270.03px;">viverra, erat tortor ultrices massa, porta feugiat nulla dolor quis magna. Nulla eget </span>
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 290.7px;">nunc et nisi imperdiet tincidunt quis et eros. Cras quis urna vulputate libero dapibus </span>
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 311.37px;">auctor. Pellentesque rutrum lorem ac laoreet semper. Aliquam nec accumsan lectus, </span>
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 332.04px;">et finibus purus. Suspendisse lacinia ullamcorper elit, a congue augue aliquet ac. </span>
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 352.71px;">Cras scelerisque cursus purus consequat volutpat. Vestibulum eu magna turpis. </span>
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 373.38px;">Phasellus sed nibh dictum, efficitur tortor eu, bibendum nunc. In pharetra velit nec </span>
<span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s2" style="top: 394.05px;">venenatis vehicula.</span>
</div>

Am I missing something or is this by design?

Thanks in advance for your help.
