How to remove the default  tags generated by modifying manage display? We are using a mix of Display Suite using the manage display and Paragraph Module on the content types to help control some of the output of the nodes. 

One problem we are trying to resolve is how to remove the extra div tags that are generated for the fields. 

The options we have tried are:


use custom module to call hook_preprocess_entity and hook_preprocess_field hooks so that we can add the div classes as needed


PRO


We can rewrite the output to include any classes or values we want
Because we are using a module is that the module code can be cached

CON


We cannot completely control what is outputted as shown below.


Write a paragraphs-items-pr_body_title.tpl.php file so that we can rewrite the output


PRO 


We can control the exact output and remove the div tags outlined below

CON


I am learning that template files are not cacheable




Example (issue):

&lt;div class="field field-name-field-title field-type-text field-label-hidden"&gt;
     &lt;div class="field-items"&gt;
          &lt;div class="field-item even"&gt;
               &lt;div&gt; /* field value */ &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;

 &lt;div class="field field-name-field-body field-type-body field-label-hidden"&gt;
     &lt;div class="field-items"&gt;
          &lt;div class="field-item even"&gt;
               &lt;div&gt; /* field value */ &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;


Desired Scenario:

&lt;div class="field-title"&gt;
     /* title value */
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="field-body"&gt;
     /* body value */
&lt;/div&gt;


What is the recommended way to resolve the issue?
It seems you are missing the  Display Suite Extras submodule (ds_extras)?
You can change the default field templates easily there.
From DS Extras doc:

Default Field Template

Default: will output the field as defined in Drupal Core.
Reset: will strip all HTML.
Minimal: adds a simple wrapper around the field.
Expert Field Template: gives full control over the
HTML, but can only be set per field.

You can override this setting per field on the &quot;Manage display&quot;
screens or when creating fields on the instance level.

admin/structure/ds/list/extras:

Once the Extras submodule activated you will have control by fields. visit the CT &quot;manage display&quot; page and the main CT page (edit). Mode &quot;Minimal&quot; or &quot;Expert&quot; seems what you need.
