  I am using this coding to add white space:

  <p>
</p>

  and a box forms to mark each line of white space added.

  how do I get rid of this box?

  thanks!

  It appears the Visual editor is automatically adding “code” tags around your “br” tags. The boxes you see are code boxes (similar to the one that is in your post above).

  You could try something like this instead of using “br” tags:

  <div style="margin: 3em 0;">

  <!-- Content that you wish to have extra space around -->

  </div>

  Sorry, forgot how the forum box adds extra “p” tags:

  <div style="margin: 3em 0;"><!-- Content that you wish to have extra space around --></div>
