How to change the line spacing between paragraphs?

RE: Format - line spacing between paragraphs

Hi Claire,

I would use CSS to do this.

One piece of code you could use would be similar to this:
CSS:
.bigspace {
margin-top: 30px;
}

HTML:
<P class="bigspace">There will be lots of space above</P>

The above shows you can apply the large spacing to paragraphs you choose. To apply the spacing to ALL paragraphs on your page, you can redefine the paragraph tag like this:
CSS:
p {
margin-top: 30px;
}

Of course, adjust the amount of pixels (px) as you see fit. You may also want to use a different measurement such as % or em.

See this forum post also, discusses the different between <BR> and <P> tags:

I hope this helps.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

Xhtml vs html

When using dreamwear template or just creating a blank webpage, you are able to select the markup language you want to use. The main choices are either xhtml or html. It is now best to select xhtml as this will translate all the html into xml, so it is transmitted across the web in xml format. One of the main advantages of this is that it makes the site that you build much more compatible with the range of different web browsers that exist.
