"\n" in my stores long product descriptions

[pets11]

I'm using Prestashop 1.5.6.2 and importing via csv. I tried to get fancy and use <br > and <p > in my long descriptions in the csv because the white space gets crunched after import and if I change it in the back office, the next import crunches everything again, leaving no space and not looking too great.

 

The code failed multiple times with /n appearing everywhere and the editor adding <p > coding. So I removed the coding off the csv but now the back office editor interprets all spaces in my csv descriptions as /n instead of a space. I'm really confused by this and can't seem to find an answer to this.

 

Once I removed the coding from the csv, things should have returned to normal....or at least I would assume.

 

CSV copy and pasted....

Has any one ever seen this before? Thanks in advance for any help, I'm stumped.
