  I have a rich text field that I don't want wrapped in anything.
  
  I just want a text area field, but I'm not sure how to get a text area without making it rich text, as the only multiline text field is the rich text field.
  
  If it is going to be rich text, I need to be able to remove wrapping tags and control those.
  
  **Tags:** fieldtypes, richtext

  If what you want is a multi-line plain text field, then check the *Allow line breaks* checkbox for that field.
