<br><br/> with anything after it (removes the slash and) adds an extra <br> at the end, which isn't obvious when editing a field, but can show up on the card if the field isn't last in the template.

   Sometimes, with MathJax Anki will insert an invisible <br> too. I have troubles reproducing the behaviour though.

   EDIT: pressing ctrl+m,m to introduce a mathjax \(\) on an empty field will append an invisible <br>. This can be problematic with certain card templates.

   What Anki version you guys are using? I think there was a fix about this on the latest version 2.1.25

   It doesn't bother me, but maybe it's related.

   If you type or copy-paste something in the empty field, select it and remove it, the field will be empty (""), in HTML it will be displayed as <br>, and if you press Ctrl-Z to undo the changes, the field will contain extra empty new line (<br>) at the start of the field.

   - Anki inserts a <br> when the field is empty so that the field box doesn't shrink in size.
   - The extra added <br> appears to be caused by the HTML parsing library (beautifulsoup).
