Formatting comments — issue with carriage returns

  • Hi all:

    I was hoping that one of you could help me figure out a comments formatting issue.

    When commenters use a carriage return it only shows up as a single carriage return, instead of a double as it would in a blog post. This makes the comments look crowded (example).

    What coding or css can I change so that my blog automatically makes every carriage return a double carriage return.

    Thanks.

  • Take a look in the file wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME/comments.php. This is the code that describes how your comments will appear. Look for the <blockquote> portion that begins the comment. Update the paragraph tag with something like this-

    <p style="margin-bottom:5px;">

    This will space out bottom of the paragraph. Try that out.
