How To Add More White Space?

  • Hello there! I’m new to WP and have uploaded a long article that I’d like to format with additional white space (line breaks). Right now, every time I add spaces and then save, it goes back to looking very text heavy.

    Is there any way to add more white space (like a double space) between paragraphs? Thanks.

    Open the HTML editor (there’s a blue button called HTML in the row of icons across the top of the edit box) and insert one or more <br> to induce a line break(s). You can also contain each paragraph within a set of <p> text in here </p> tags and it might induce a line break after each paragraph.

    You might edit your theme’s stylesheet a bit to give more room between paragraphs.

    Find:

    p {
margin:5px 0pt;
padding:0pt;
}

    and maybe change that padding to something like:

    padding: 0 0 8pt 0; (experiment with the 8)

    For gawds sake disable the freakin text editor. ??

    Hi All,

    Thank you for the tips – I’ll try them all.

    ROOT: Not sure what you mean by disable the freakin text editor – but I’m open to the suggestion! ??

    thanks again….

    There is an option in admin for using the Rich Text Editor. Or not.

    Handysolo: I am not sure that suggesting anyone use pts for font sizing is the best way to go. The dpi on different platforms differ really widely. This is not a common practice by any means.

    True ’nuff.

    So change ’em. ??

    I might go p {margin: 5% 3em} or similar

    Thanks Root. I try to stay current, but sometimes I’m still a creature of 5 years ago. ??

    Thats a typo. Its p {margin: 3em 5%}

    Sorry. Thanks for the thanks. ??
