Line Spacing in posts…help needed..

  • Sorry for not posting all of my questions in one post, they just pop =\…

    Anyway, i want to have wider spacing between SOME of the lines in my posts, for example between the signature (last) line, and the line before it.

    Now, i’m aware of the <br/> & tags, but they’re only skipping one line, and then if i add more than one tag of them, they simply don’t affect the spacing anymore..

    Anyone can help me?
    Thanks

  • Try using the code for non-breaking space, like this:
    &nbsp;<br>
    &nbsp;<br>

    For greater spacing,
    &nbsp;<p>
    &nbsp;<p>

    I believe the standards frown upon contrived spacing like that, but… [shrug]

    I see no sigs on the blog from your name ?

    Using
    everywhere can get ugly, but if you like that method of control you can get WP to insert more blank lines.
    Use a non-breaking space.

    WP will strip that to

    WP will show 6 blank lines.
    You could even make a quicktag for it ??

    for example between the signature (last) line, and the line before it.

    Why would you have a “signature” in the post when you can use the_author template tag in the meta section of a post?

    I give up trying to show that tags !

    What Hallsey said ??

    WP is just flexible like that (my personal view of it). Someone may want a different kind of sig; or to space-down for other reasons. A letter-writer may wish to put “Love, Me” at the end of a post instead of a generic Meta tag. Why question the question?

    @ Heat, I believe what you want to do is make a new CSS class for your sig, and define a margin-above: for that class. Then wrap your sig in a div. Sorry I’m not good enough with CSS to explain exactly how. I recommend not using consecutive br br br’s.

    It would be something like this.

    Add the new class to your CSS file (and name the new class something you’d recognize; just a little tip):

    .authorsig {margin-top:20px; line-height:normal}

    In your code:

    <div class="authorsig">Author's name<br />
    Etc.</div>

    “for example between the signature (last) line, and the line before it.”

    Hmm..did anyone see the “FOR EXAMPLE” words? i was sure i mentioned that it was only for EXAMPLE, didn’t i? ??

    The non-breaking space worked, thanks alot! ??

    DianeV’s approach is the best way to really control the exact margin distance, and to be able to change it across-the-board.
