How to remove unwanted <p> tags without going to text editor

We are using Xinha in a CMS that manages snippets of information that are later pulled together in a web page.  Sometimes, we do not want there to be <p> tags in the snippets created by Xinha.  When you first type copy into an Xinha editor, there is no <p> tag and when saved, this paragraph has no surrounding <p> tag. However, when editing and you press an <enter> to start a new paragraph, both the new paragraph and the original paragraph are surrounded by a <p> tag.  Is there anyway to remove the <p> tag from the first paragraph?

I know that this can be done with the text/source editor, but my users need something reaallly simple without seeing any HTML code.  Thanks for any pointers.

Do it server side in your language of choice.  Eg in PHP $cleanContent = preg_replace('/<\\/?p>/i', '', $dirtyContent);
