Localisation Error
Talis.7261:
When retrieving the german world names, there is a <br> tag in “Meer des Leids”. This makes it pretty ugly when displaying it on a HTML page.
https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/world_names.json?lang=de
Think.8042:
This is a general problem. The same thing happens on the new leaderboards and the ingame world selection window. I think it’s been reported for a looong time but I can’t find the thread right now…

Hmm…
http://php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php
http://api.prototypejs.org/language/String/prototype/stripTags/
something like this may help
Think.8042:
Sure. But what about trying to get the source fixed instead of using ugly workarounds (which we can’t use for the leaderboards for example)?
smiley.1438:
Then, on the other hand, would be a lot more to fix… ;D
In case you run the data through a script (which is the case in 99.9% i guess) then it’s not too hard to strip tags while you’re at it.

Hi,
Think is right. This is a problem with the source text.
I talked to the localization team, and they’ve agreed to remove the <br> from the German text.
Thanks a lot for the bug report!
Cliff Spradlin.3512:
This should be fixed now.
smiley.1438:
Yep, looks fine now.
btw. have you looked into that double space thing yet? I belive that most french and spanish items (~6200 each) with runes on them are affected.
example: https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/item_details.json?item_id=30189&lang=es
pattern: name [double space] suffix
