Is "Lsep" appearing in a type block due to a database cache issue on Webflow?
TL;DR
- "Lsep" appears due to hidden formatting or special characters (Unicode U+2028) from pasted content, not a database cache issue.
- Use a plain text editor to clean the content before re-pasting it into Webflow to remove invisible characters.
"Lsep" appearing in a text block in Webflow is not typically caused by a database cache issue. It's more likely due to a formatting or character encoding issue stemming from your content source.
1. Understand What "Lsep" Represents
- "Lsep" stands for a Line Separator (Unicode U+2028).
- It may appear when invisible special characters are incorrectly rendered in Webflow's visual editor or on published pages.
- This often happens when pasting content from external tools like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or PDFs.
2. Check Your Content Source
- If your content was copied from another program, it may have included non-standard whitespace or line break characters.
- These invisible characters can get misinterpreted in Webflow and show up as
"Lsep"in text or dynamic fields.
3. Clean and Re-Add the Affected Text
- Remove the text block or CMS field where “Lsep” appears.
- Paste the content into a plain text editor (like Notepad or TextEdit in plain mode) to strip out hidden formatting.
- Then, copy the cleaned text back into Webflow.
4. Check CMS or Static Pages Separately
- If the issue appears in a CMS Collection, review the text directly in Webflow’s CMS Editor or via CSV import, if applicable.
- If the issue is on a static page, double-check the manual text in the Designer.
5. Review Embedded Scripts or Custom Code Fields
- Ensure that “Lsep” isn’t accidentally hard-coded in a custom code block or being inserted via a faulty script.
Summary
The appearance of “Lsep” isn’t due to Webflow's database cache. It's usually related to invisible formatting from text pasted from other sources. Cleaning and re-adding the text using a plain text editor should resolve the issue.
