  I’d like to be able to adjust the line height (or line spacing) within the blockquote itself.

  I like the way the blockquote is offset and the font size is increased, but the line height doesn’t need to be that big – it unnecessarily increases the length of the posts.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello @pragmaticcommunication,
  Can you provide a link to a page which contains the blockquote?
  This will help us to provide you with the exact CSS code.

  Thanks! 🙂

  Hello again!

  This question is actually prompted by a draft I’m working on right now, so below is a link to an already published example. The blockquote text is displayed with blue line to the left margin (which I really like).

  the 1% rule. a minority with too much free time? or representative of the 99%?

  Okay, then use this CSS to reduce the line height of the blockquote:

  blockquote {
      line-height: 1.3em;  /*change this value if you must*/
  }

  Hope this helps 🙂

  Just for a reference, the original line height was 1.636364em.

  PERFECT. Exactly what I was looking for!

  Once again. You’ve saved me hours slugging through CSS code looking for an answer.

  Thank you, otpidusprime!
