Line Height

[mdr2273]

How can I increase a line height (not using tables) to allow for more space between lines of text without increasing the font size?

Use the CSS [tt]line-height[/tt] property.

Set the line-height property in your stylesheet

 p
{ 
line-height: 140%
}

Actually, you're probably better off putting

p
{
line-height: 1.4
}

See

for why.

Of course. I just 'cut and pasted' one example from w3schools. (I just read that Eric Meyer posting a couple of days ago, too.)
