Basic question about line spacing |
|---|
| message from neophyte weaver on 18 Jul 2004 |
It seems to me that the default line spacing in Dreamweaver is something in the neighborhood of 200%. Is there a way to adjust line spacing, and make lines closer together?
Thanks,
George

Also investigate the CSS property "line-spacing" for controlling the
space between lines in a given structure, like <p>.

Ive noticed that myself...try pressing the shift and enter button at the same time (for PC). MACs I couldnt tell you. but SHIFT/ENTER at the same time will start a new line without a space.

pressing the Enter or Return key inserts a <P> paragraph html tag.
pressing shift+Enter inserts a <BR> linebreak html tag.
note- don't insert a hard linebreak <br> tag unless you really want a new
line. html text reflows depending on space allowed- a bunch of hard breaks
could wrap in the wrong places in some people's browsers making the text
look odd and choppy.

Thanks for the info, I am using a MAC, and I don't know diddly squat about html code. But I'll try some key combos to get the line break.

As was mentioned though, it is not the correct way to do things. Using
multiple instances of <br> single spacing, can cause your page to break out
of the intended design on certain platforms. Have a look at my reply to you
about redefining the margin on the <p> tag. You will have to get your feet
wet with delving into the html code at some point. Otherwise, you will find
yourself in all sorts of bother without any way out :-)
