  • To decreases space between lines you would use line-height property, i.e.

    p{
   line-height: .8em; /* decreases space to 80%. default is 100% or 1em */
}

    To add a spacing of 1.5 you can try this:

    p{
   margin-bottom: 1.5em;
}

    You can combine the above two rules into one:

    p{
   margin-bottom: 1.5em;
   line-height: .8em;
}

    Hope this helps!

    Hi thank you.
    Do I have to put this code any a specific section.
    I tried in the second section in the editor (Appearance > Editor) and it does not seem to make any changes. I also tried with a new page.
    Do I have do something more that just “upload File” once I insert the code?
    I am using Twenty ten Theme.

    Note: The default for between paragraphs is double and I want this reduce this to 1.5. while also decreasing in between line within a paragraph.

    I appreciate your support

    Cheers – Albert
