html help?

[cortana]

OK, so I'm trying to make a textbox of the author sign-ups for the scifbigbang and this is what happens:

User Name: <br />Author Name (if different): <br />Fandom: <br />Email addie: <br />Do you need a beta? <br />Do you have a AO3 (Archive of Our Own) account?

Can anyone help me with telling me how to get rid of the annoying <br /> tag?

THIS is why I hate coding.

ETAL I fixed it! Woot! Disable Auto-Formatting FTW!!!
